You do not have to tell anyone when you make an advance healthcare directive.
But, we recommend you give a copy of your advance healthcare directive to your doctor and any other healthcare professional who may give you treatment.
Healthcare professionals must check if you have an advance healthcare directive if you lack the capacity to make a treatment decision.
You can download a booklet and form at the links below.
