#palliativecare — Public Fediverse posts

Whatever happens next with the campaign for the legalisation of assisted dying, perhaps the most positive thing to come out of the recent debates & legislative deliberations, is a wider recognition of the vital & positive role of palliative care.

For both sides, I hope that while they may disagree on the legislative aspect(s), a renewed emphasis on palliative care & its expended funding (if it appears) will be seen as a good result....

French lawmakers revive the assisted suicide debate as the end-of-life bill returns to parliament.

French MPs are again debating assisted suicide, as an end-of-life bill restarts its legislative process after it was interrupted by President Macron’s dissolution of parliament last year.

Lawmakers in committee also adopted a bill on palliative care, which was initially part of the end-of-life legislation.
