About ACP Day

About ACP Day 2025

Advance Care Plan Day is a not for profit awareness campaign taking place on the 7th May 2025. In the month’s leading up to the day of awareness and action we encourage different communities to share care planning resources and make plans for the day itself.

The national day of awareness and action supports all areas that encompass advance care planning and future care planning. 

 

Who runs and organises the Advance Care Plan Day?

ACP Day is provided by various individuals and charitable organisations who donate their time, expertise and energy to make it happen. If you are able to support us with insights, a guest blog post or anything else please do get in touch.

“No one wants to have to plan for their own future or death but it’s a fact of life and only you know what you’d like to happen - plan for the worst hope for the best and better yet write it down and file and forget it but tell those that matter first"
Dr Ollie Minton
Clinical Lead for Palliative Medicine & Clinical Director for Cancer. NHS University Hospitals Sussex
