Popis:	Anticipatory/advance care planning (ACP) conversations are often known to be challenging and should be undertaken sensitively. A qualitative service evaluation was undertaken with the elderly care department at The Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust by medical students to explore the thoughts and experiences of foundation doctors. ACP discussions include consideration of future treatment options and preferences; however, foundation doctors were not confident to discuss issues beyond resuscitation status. The key themes identified include understanding of and confidence in ACP, variation across specialty and medical educational needs. The analysis highlights a further need for qualitative research into prevalent attitudes towards ACP discussions across the range of specialties.
