Voluntary assisted dying (VAD) was legalised in Western Australia in 2021. ACHLR members Professor Lindy Willmott and Professor Ben White, with collaborator Distinguished Professor Patsy Yates, have built on their expertise in developing and providing training to health professionals to create a specialised training program for Western Australian doctors and nurse practitioners providing VAD.
The training consists of 9 eLearning modules which equips doctors and nurse practitioners working in this area with accurate legal knowledge and clinical skills, enhancing the consistency and quality of their decision-making and patient care.
