DNACPR / ReSPECT Decision Support Tool
Supports DNACPR and ReSPECT conversations. CPR decisions are made by the senior responsible clinician with the patient (or, if the patient lacks capacity, those close to them) using the BMA / Resuscitation Council UK / RCN guidance — there is no validated points score.
