Topic: Voluntary Assisted Dying: West Moreton Health update
The session provides a West Moreton Health specific and state-wide update on Voluntary Assisted Dying since it was implemented on 1 January 2023, as well as information on referral pathways. The introduction of VAD provides an additional end-of-life option for eligible people with a life-limiting condition. VAD and other end-of-life options are sensitive and complex topics, with many holding deeply personal views for reasons that are important to them.
