One of the things we heard repeatedly when consulting with clinicians and other professionals involved in decision-making, was the need for family members to have clear information about their role in the decision-making process.

We have developed a leaflet for you to share with family members and others close to the patient. This leaflet can help to:

• initiate discussions about best interests in relation to CANH
• encourage family members to think about the type of information they want you to know
• support ongoing conversations about treatment options and best interests.

It is also essential that family members know where to go for further information and support, and so our leaflet includes a list of useful resources to which you might want to signpost.
