Study: the experiences and perspectives of Geriatricians on Advance Care Planning.

ANZSGM Members are invited to take part in a research study into looking at the experiences and perspectives of Geriatricians on Advance Care Planning.

The study is being conducted by Dr Cathy Zheng, Advanced Trainee in Geriatric Medicine, for her Advanced Trainee research project. She is supervised by Dr Andrew Emerson and Dr Daniel Simpkins, Geriatricians working in Sydney.

Advance Care Planning has been a topical subject in recent years, with a multitude of studies examining both physician participant perspectives, with emerging interest in patients with dementia and frailty. Geriatricians have a wealth of experience in addressing end of life issues, however, appear to be underrepresented in the literature. The aim of our study is to explore and encapsulate the experiences and opinions of Geriatricians about Advance Care Planning.
