REDMAP is a 6-step guide to Future Care Planning conversations with people who are living with long term conditions and disabilities, or older people who are getting more frail. These conversations are even more important for people who have life-shortening, serious health conditions. Future care planning usually involves families and others close to the person.
REDMAP was developed by Dr Kirsty Boyd, Reader in Palliative Care, The University of Edinburgh.
