Voluntary Assisted Dying (VAD) legislation comes into effect this Sunday. Whatever your role here at Redcliffe Hospital, you must know your\u00a0obligations<\/a> under the\u00a0Voluntary Assisted Dying Act 2021.<\/h4>\n

Before the legislation takes effect, I strongly encourage all hospital staff to complete the training package – Voluntary Assisted Dying Education module for healthcare workers<\/a>. The training only takes about 45 minutes, and it will help you to meet your obligations to our patients and community.<\/p>\n

It’s also essential that everyone knows how to respond to a question about VAD by a patient.<\/p>\n

If you are not a medical practitioner or a nurse practitioner, you must not initiate a conversation about VAD with a patient<\/b>. Hospital staff who are not medical or nurse practitioners may only provide general information about VAD in response to a clear and unambiguous question asked by a patient.<\/p>\n

To help prepare for that situation, there’s a Conversation Guide and Information for Healthcare Workers available here<\/a>, and I encourage everyone to read more about the best ways to\u00a0respond to a person asking about VAD, by clicking here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you’re unsure about any aspect of how VAD will work, talk to your line manager. The Metro North VAD team will also be available at: MetroNorth_VAD@health.qld.gov.au<\/a>.<\/p>\n
