In DAC Beachcroft's latest edition of Lawcast, Paul McGough, partner, and Jemma Gillson, Senior Associate, discuss the CQC’s recent report on ‘Do Not Attempt Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation’ (DNACPR) decisions. They examine the report’s recommendations for a more consistent, national approach to DNACPR conversations and documentation in the context of wider advance care planning, as well as an urgent need for more robust oversight of how DNACPR decisions are made.
