The TULIPS template is designed to help you prepare your End of Life Plan rather than as a replacement for it. Think of it as collecting all your most important thoughts on a single page.

There are no rules but one approach could be to think of the template as ‘prepping the soil’ before planting any TULIPS by turning on the TAP:

T: Topic- the main areas to consider

A: Action - things you have already done or plan to do

P: People - those who are best placed to know what you want and/or that you have nominated to carry out a particular role.

You can choose just one of these aspects, all of them or none. Remember, there is no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ here, only what’s right for you!

Essentially, the template has been created to be used by as many people as possible. If you want to adapt it to make it more relevant for your group or community, go ahead. Change what you need to. Make it make sense for you. Please share freely and from a place of compassion. Thank you.
