Demystifying voluntary assisted dying for GPs
Join GPs, Drs Scott Blackwell and Angela Cooney and Alice Herring from the WA VAD Statewide Care Navigator Service for a discussion on voluntary assisted dying.
The presenters will share their insights following the commencement of the Voluntary Assisted Dying Act 2019 (the Act) in July 2021.
Dr Scott Blackwell will provide an overview of the voluntary assisted dying process in WA and the legal obligations now required of all GPs when a patient requests access to voluntary assisted dying.
Dr Angela Cooney will share her perspective on what VAD actually looks like for practitioners who choose to support a patient through the process, and Alice Herring will outline the supports and resources available to GPs through the WA VAD Statewide Care Navigator Service.
You’ll also have the opportunity to have your questions answered.
Thursday 17 February 2022, 6.30–7.30 pm
