On November 7, 2021, the End of Life Choice Act 2019 will come into force. All health care workers will have obligations under this Act. We have prepared the resources below to introduce you to the Act, your obligations and the systems that have been developed for assisted dying in Aotearoa.
We strongly encourage you to undertake the Ministry of Health modules available at Learn Online: you can access these from the link below. We will produce further resources over the next few months. Please feel free to contact Vicki Jones or Monique Jonas with any questions, observations or requests that you may have about the End of Life Choice Act and assisted dying.
