24DOC, Your Trusted GP Clinic in Dublin City Centre.
At 24DOC, we understand the importance of proactive healthcare planning and ensuring your medical preferences are legally documented. Our clinic is dedicated to providing comprehensive medical services, including facilitating the creation of essential legal documents tailored to your healthcare needs.
Why Are Legal Medical Documents Essential?
Legal documents such as advance healthcare directive, enduring power of attorney, and access to medical records are useful for anyone who wants to plan ahead and ensure their wishes and rights are respected in case they lose the ability to make or communicate their decisions. Some of the situations where these documents may be needed are:
If you have a serious or terminal illness and you want to specify what kind of treatment you want or do not want in the future
If you have a disability or a mental health condition that may affect your decision-making capacity at some point
If you have a family history of dementia or other degenerative diseases that may impair your cognitive abilities as you age
If you have assets or property that you want to protect and manage in case you become incapacitated
If you want to access your medical records for personal or legal reasons, such as applying for insurance, making a complaint, or seeking compensation
