Assisted dying: Legal, clinical and practical considerations

We’d like to invite you to our upcoming webinar examining the legal, clinical and practical implications of assisted dying for health and social care organisations.

This session will provide a balanced and informed overview of the current legal position on assisted dying, how requests and discussions are arising in practice, and what the delays in the proposed legislative reform may mean for organisations, clinicians and governance leads.

Bringing together legal and clinical perspectives, the webinar will support attendees to better understand risk, responsibilities, and appropriate responses in a highly sensitive and evolving area. In addition to an update on the Assisted Dying Bill, the session will cover:

• the current legal framework on assisted dying in England and Wales

• key case law, including mental health and Court of Protection considerations

• managing patient conversations and requests relating to assisted dying

• records requests, information governance, and professional boundaries

• clinical and psychological perspectives on capacity, vulnerability, and ethics

Time will be built in for questions and open discussion.

We very much hope you can join us.
