2025-2030 vision for Stage 1 of the Network
Through collaborative, interdisciplinary, data-led approaches, for the first 5 years of our operation focus on assisted dying, as a currently very topical end-of-life practice, and contribute to:
discourse and debate on assisted dying taking place at all levels, not just among professionals, but also the public. It involves thinking, communicating, planning, deliberating on assisted dying.
assisted dying regulation and its implementation (pre-legislation, during legislation, and post-legislation).
supporting all those involved with assisted dying (in hospitals, hospices, at home, in court, in Parliaments).
