Irish Doctors who support a patient's right to have an assisted death under specific circumstances have put together a policy document on Safeguards needed for #AssistedDying Is there enough political will to continue the good work of the Oireachtas? @FineGael @FineFail – at Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown, Ireland
Replying to @IDsMAiD1
Our proposed VAD model of care is an evidenced based application from similar jurisdictions to the Irish context. The Joint Committee recommendations have been critiqued in our paper (above) and this should be factored in any plans to legislate for VAD.

Wonderful opening to #WFRtDS2024 @todowd outlining the primacy of General Practice in listening to patient’s ideas and concerns - so important as we consider legislation on Voluntary Assisted Dying. #VAD #MAiD @IDsMAiD1 @EndOfLifeIE
