At the event which took place online, Ward focused his presentation in particular on the potential value of advance choices in the case of dementia, by providing maximum support for people’s rights to autonomy and self-determination, with clarity and reassurance for them and their families and carers.
The ELI project aims at developing model laws with practical guidance, with a view to encouraging the adoption of advance choices and supporting people in making use of them. Responses at the event indicated strong interest in the relevance and value of the project.
