This week, Clinical Lead Daimon Wheddon and the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital's Dr Caroline Barry, sit down to talk ReSPECT.

The ReSPECT process provides a written record of patients' treatment preference and focuses on treatments to be considered as well as those that are not wanted or would not work.

People with a complete ReSPECT form do not require a separate DNACPR form although it is important to be aware that a patient can have a ReSPECT form and still be in favour of cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

ReSPECT aims to inform decision making for ambulance clinicians when the patient may lose capacity to make decisions for themselves.
