Abstract

Advance Care Planning (ACP) is integral to good end-of-life care and there is rising awareness and interest in ACP in Singapore. This narrative synthesis sets out to examine effects of ACP on end-of-life care, factors influencing people to engage in ACP, healthcare professionals’ attitudes towards ACP discussions, and the feasibility of ACP in primary care.
