Introduction to Assisted Dying

Assisted dying (umbrella term for assisted suicide and euthanasia) has paradigm-shifting implications for how healthcare is delivered in the UK, and our role as healthcare professionals.

Alongside religious objection, many of us will have objections based on professional ethical code of conduct. We also see how this can be dangerous for vulnerable individuals and marginalised communities who already struggle to access healthcare, in a system that is not able to respond to complex healthcare needs efficiently.

It is very important to educate yourself on the issue and to highlight your concerns as a healthcare professional to your Member of Parliament who will be voting on legalising Assisted Dying.
