An advance statement is a written statement that sets down your preferences, wishes, beliefs and values regarding your future care. It can help people supporting you to know what you would like to happen in the future.

In Somerset Marie Curie companions are assisting people to complete an advance statement, which can be uploaded to Somerset's shared system for Health and Social Care staff. More information about the Marie Curie companion service can be found on the Talking about Advance Care Planning in Somerset page.
