Speaker: 
Dr. Daren Heyland
Critical Care Physician and Professor of Medicine, Queen's University  and Director of the Clinical Evaluation Research Unit, Kingston General Hospital

Topic: 
"Plan Well Guide: A novel tool to support decision-making in serious illness that requires collaboration between Lawyers and Doctors" 
For over a decade, he chaired a multidisciplinary research group which has had a focus on developing and evaluating strategies to improve communication and decision-making at the end of life. The results of their research informed the development of 2 novel, free, online decision support tools: www.planwellguide.com and www.myicuguide.com. His motto is “To live well, die well, you need to plan well".

Are you interested in how to engage your clients in a way that will optimally prepare them for future periods of incapacitation, from the medical decision-making point of view? Dr. Heyland has studied medical decision-making for more than 2 decades and has developed a free, online tool that can better help your clients prepare themselves (and their substitute decision-maker) for future serious illness decision-making. He will explain the current problems with communication and decision-making related to serious illness, introduce you to Plan Well Guide, and discuss a possible collaboration with lawyers.
