On the 17th of November, the IAPC, represented by Dr. Hannah Linane and Dr. Una Molloy attended the Joint Oireachtas Committee’s discussions on assisted dying.

This was a significant moment for palliative care advocates and experts, as it provided an opportunity to contribute to important conversations surrounding end-of-life choices and care. The IAPC will continue to actively engage in these discussions, representing the interests of those who seek compassionate palliative care as a primary option for individuals facing life-limiting illnesses.

We encourage our members and the palliative care community to follow the developments and engage in this crucial dialogue. The IAPC remains committed to promoting the highest standards of care for patients and their families, and our involvement in discussions on assisted dying is a testament to this commitment. Stay informed and stay engaged as we work towards a brighter future for palliative care.
