The living will<\/strong> is a binding document for your attending medical professional, in which you can clearly specify which medical treatments may\/should be carried out<\/strong> on you in an emergency. You also specify a trusted person whom you authorize to make certain or all decisions for you in the event that you are unresponsive. To be valid, the living will must contain your personal details, be dated and signed. We recommend that you update the date regularly so that it is clear that the patient directive is up to date. However, it does not have to be notarized; your signature is sufficient. In our case, the digital signature is considered to be the fact that you can only write the living will in your password-protected member area, so it is guaranteed that it is written by you only. However, we recommend that you carry a printed and traditionally signed version of your living will with you (along with your Safeblood membership card) to avoid discussions. If the digital version is not accepted, you or your trusted person can state that a paper version with signature will be provided upon request.<\/p>\n

You can create, edit and view the living will exclusively in your member area<\/a><\/strong>. However, emergency medical personnel can access it at any time<\/strong> via the QR code on your member ID card. This is also the actual main purpose of the living will. More information on emergency information can be found on this page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The living will essentially has two parts:<\/p>\n

The first part<\/strong>: the “Personal data disposing person” and “Medical data disposing person” come directly from the database and cannot be changed here<\/strong>, but only in your member area<\/a> under “My data” and press “edit” there.<\/p>\n

The second part<\/strong>: In the text field, the actual text<\/strong> of your living will is given as a sample.\u00a0You can change whatever you want, you are completely free<\/strong> here. In any case, you must complete<\/strong> the points where there is a “…..”. Behind the “…..” is explained in each case what you have to insert there instead of the points (e.g. “first name + surname”). Then delete this oblique printed explanation text.
\nIf you don’t have or don’t want a “trusted person”, delete everything related to it.<\/strong>
\nIf your trusted person does not have the same blood group as you, you must change this here in the text or delete the entire passage<\/strong>.
\nVery important<\/strong>: When you have customized your living will,\u00a0save it<\/strong>\u00a0by pressing\u00a0the red \u201cSave changes\u201d button<\/strong> \u2013 if you do not do this, everything will revert to the original sample text.<\/p>\n

After<\/strong> you have saved your changes, you can upload a scanned signature<\/strong>. To do this, select the file that contains your signature (1, Choose file) and then click on \u201cUpload signature (2)\u201d.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nOnce you see the message \u201cSignature successfully uploaded\u201d, your living will is up-to-date.
\nIf you do not yet have a scanned signature, make one on white paper and photograph or scan it before you can upload it.
\n(Please do not upload the signature under \u201cUpload ID\u201d. If you see this option, you are on the wrong page).<\/p>\n

Non-members<\/strong> can find a sample version of a living will here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You can<\/strong> view, edit, print, download your living will as a PDF file or forward it directly to your doctor via e-mail, for example.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
