Can you combine a Last Will and Living Will?

As per the title can you combine a Last Will and Living Will into one document or do they have to be separate? If I had them both as one document and signed by two witnesses at the end underneath my own signature would that be accepted legally and lawfully as valid for my Last WIll and Living Will in the UK? Is there any good reason why they would have to be kept separate and can't all be in one document?

     A LIVING will becomes INVALID when you die.

    A LAST will doesn't become valid until you die.

    For those reasons, they NECESSARILY MUST be separate.

    Advance decisions (living wills) An advance decision allows you to express your wishes to refuse medical treatment in future.....and nothing to do with a last Will and testiment....totally separate documents

    No.   The two documents are not the same at all, even though they share a common word.   The two documents have completely separate purposes.
