Assisted dying is legal – Now what

The Department of Supportive Care at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre and GIPPEC developed an education platform, including a series of videos showing health professionals how to respond to patients who express a desire for assisted dying.

This is in response to the Supreme Court of Canada’s decision in February 2015, which struck down the ban on medical assistance in dying (MAID) for patients meeting specific eligibility requirements.
