Lincolnshire ReSPECT Workshop: Thursday 7 August 2025, 9.30am - 12.30pm

Are you a health and care professional with experience in ReSPECT conversations, or are interested in learning more?

Then REGISTER for the Lincolnshire ReSPECT workshop to celebrate the progress made so far in embedding ReSPECT across Lincolnshire, and explore collectively how we continue to build on this into the future.

Together, we will:

• Explore how we can further raise the profile of ReSPECT conversations with both the workforce and the People of Lincolnshire and reflect on why it’s so important.
• Consider how to better protect people’s wishes and preferences through meaningful ReSPECT conversations, informed by stories from those with lived experience of what it’s like to be a part of ReSPECT conversations - and learn together.
• Explore what practical support colleagues need to enable them to implement this vital initiative effectively – seeking solutions and connecting people across our system, building on the great work already completed.

Why ReSPECT matters?

In an emergency, health professionals often need to make swift decisions. But what happens when the person at the centre of that decision-making is too unwell to speak for themselves?

That’s where the Recommended Summary Plan for Emergency Care and Treatment or ReSPECT process plays a vital role. It helps health and care professionals understand and honour a person's values, preferences, and priorities, especially in urgent or crisis situations, where time is limited and communication might not be possible.

A ReSPECT form records personalised recommendations for treatment in a future emergency. It helps guide decisions, not just based on clinical judgement, but on what matters most to the person, including what treatments they would or wouldn’t want considered.
