Fink Cards

A one-page profile captures important information about a person on a single sheet of paper. These cards help you with the first section of a one-page profile – what people appreciate about the person.

These cards are to help people think about and plan for the end of life: a topic which is not always easy to talk about. End of Life can mean the next few years, months or weeks of life when you have an incurable illness. You are invited to use these cards to help you start, share and continue these advance care planning conversations with your family and friends, doctors, nurses and others who care for you.

Care and Support Planning starts with what matters to the person and what they want to achieve. It is a continuous process based on conversation between the person and their health and social care practitioners. At the heart of good care and support planning are different conversations, and these cards can help.
