With an increasing number of young people living with life-limiting conditions there is a need to understand how far young people are engaged in their own advance care planning in order to shape future practice and facilitate young people's wishes. The aim of this study was to identify and assess the current evidence to determine the barriers and facilitators to the engagement of young people in their own advance care planning process.
