Hi Friend,

My name is Dr Jacky Davis. I am a consultant radiologist, and chair of
Healthcare Professionals for Assisted Dying (HPAD). We are a group of nearly
3,000 healthcare professionals from a range of specialisms who support the need
for greater, safer choice at the end of life.

Healthcare professionals have an important role to play in the assisted dying
debate, helping to make sure the law is reformed safely and effectively, for
both us and our patients.

At HPAD, we amplify the voices of doctors, nurses, and other medical
professionals to help make that happen.

If you are a healthcare professional, will you join HPAD

If you know a health professional who would like to be involved, please forward
them this email.

Over the years I’ve been campaigning with Dignity in Dying, I’ve seen a marked
shift away from paternalistic attitudes in healthcare; from “doctor to knows
best”, to patient knows best . Patient-centred care that respects the autonomy and choice of the individual
lies at the heart of the care good doctors and nurses strive to provide.

However, the current blanket ban on assisted dying prevents us from enabling
true choice at the end of life. We are all too often left unable to honour the
wishes of dying people to explore this option, and they are forced instead to
suffer.

More and more healthcare professionals are recognising that this needs to
change.

As a supporter of Dignity in Dying, I know that you support choice at the end of
life.

That’s why I’m asking, if you are a student, practising or retired healthcare
professional, will you join us and support the campaign for assisted dying?

As we get closer to law change, it is more important than ever that we remind
lawmakers that there are thousands of healthcare professionals who support a
change in the law.

By signing up to HPAD, you will join thousands of others calling on our
lawmakers to make this change. Your expertise will be drawn upon to show why law
change is the way to improve end-of-life care for all.

You’ll receive updates on the campaign and the process of the Bills across the
British Isles, and opportunities to use your professional expertise and
experience to help drive change for dying people and their loved ones.
