Area of Science:

  • Health Policy
  • Palliative Care
  • Gerontology

Background:

  • Future care planning (FCP) is a growing policy focus in UK and international supportive and palliative care.
  • Existing literature lacks a clear, consistent definition of FCP, hindering professional practice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a summary overview of FCP through a scoping review of the literature.
  • To identify definitions of FCP and describe its components for end-of-life care.

Main Methods:

  • Scoping review of existing literature on future care planning.
  • Analysis of definitions and applications of FCP in policy and practice.

Main Results:

  • FCP integrates advance care planning with a best-interests approach for individuals with diminished decision-making capacity.
  • FCP is increasingly adopted in palliative care globally and in national strategies (e.g., Wales, Scotland).

Conclusions:

  • A unified definition of FCP is crucial for health and social care professionals, particularly those in frailty and palliative care.
  • FCP enhances end-of-life care by providing a structured approach to planning and decision-making.
