Subject: Online module for Indigenous health professionals about voluntary assisted dying laws in Australia
Importance: High
Dear Colleagues,
I am writing in relation to End of Life Law for Clinicians (ELLC), a free national training program for Indigenous health professionals, medical practitioners, medical students, nurses, and allied health professionals. A new online module on Voluntary Assisted Dying laws is now available.
On completion of the module clinicians should be able to:
- Describe the legal status of voluntary assisted dying (VAD) in Australia
- Understand the eligibility criteria and processes for accessing VAD in jurisdictions where it is lawful
- Understand the legal obligations of health professionals arising from VAD laws
- Differentiate between VAD and other practices, including providing pain and symptom relief and withholding and withdrawing life-sustaining treatment.
Certificates of completion are available. For more information visit: https://mailchi.mp/fdc0d97c7f50/end-of-life-law-for-clinicians-training-program-module11-14103858?e=[UNIQID . The full training course can be accessed for free at: https://palliativecareeducation.com.au/course/index.php?categoryid=5
We would welcome your assistance in letting Indigenous health professionals know about the new module. Please feel free to circulate this information to your networks or members, or to include it in your next newsletter. A brief paragraph for your newsletter is available on request.
Thank you for your consideration. Should you require further information please do not hesitate to contact me.
Kind regards,
Penny.
