Respect form says something uselessly vague like ‘Plans for a Future Emergency’ A fractured RIGHT wrist in a frail person living alone is a common emergency, is that what the form is for?
Why not be frank
‘What I want done if I am found dying’
@DrMarkTaubert @hospicedoctor
Indeed it is. Trespass against the person, as I understand it. But I take your point about awareness of the ADRT or DNACPR status. Although awareness of it and respecting it don't always go hand-in-hand, as @MikeStone2_EoL will tell you.

@DrMarkTaubert mentioned these tweets to me, but not where - found them, working my way through them, just responded to the previous one and then move on to 'as Mike will tell you' here! Btw@TorButlerCole has acted for the RC(UK) - and I think RC(UK) has got the law wrong. -

I read MCA/EoL-related court rulings, and it is a challenge to first identify 'pure sophistry', and in some cases to then to discern a coherent logical thread being developed by the judge(s).

Put really simply - deciphering court rulings is incredibly tricky: but normal family-carers are legally required to apply the MCA: hence my argument at https://www.dignityincare.org.uk/Discuss-and-debate/Dignity-Champions-forum/A-paper-by-Kitzinger-et-al-about-the-Briggs-ruling-and-MCA-best-interests-is-well-worth-reading-and-my-but-if-you-were-a-welfare-attorney-analytical-tricktool./950/ … See also https://www.dignityincare.org.uk/Discuss-and-debate/Dignity-Champions-forum/MCA-Best-Interests-compressed-to-a-single-sentence-an-ansatz/972/ …pic.twitter.com/KO0Fh28SFO
