FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Can you provide me with the "Do Not Resuscitate Confirmation Form" (DNRC) that is required by first responders (police, ambulance, fire fighters, paramedics)?

The Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care can supply the DNR Form that was implemented on February 1, 2008.

The updated DNR Form enhances a first responder's ability to honour the wishes of patients and their families. The form has been designed for easier use and should minimize any chance of error and reduce the risk of liability.

This Information Bulletin has been developed to provide an opportunity to review the key points from the updated DNRC. This Form directs the practice of paramedics and firefighters effective February 1, 2008 in situations where a DNR order has been effected. This information bulletin includes detailed information on the DNR Confirmation Form and its use. Each DNRC form has a unique serial number. This form is available to Living Assistance Services clients on request.
