Assisted dying has been a topic of wide discussion in UK and internationally. The Royal College of Physicians Edinburgh has no organisational stance on the topic of assisted dying and our aim is to provide ongoing education and up-to-date, reliable sources of information for our members and the public. This Special Edition online Evening Medical Update will bring together world-renowned experts in the field of Palliative Care, Ethics and Philosophy from the UK and internationally to share experience of caring for patients at the end of life and the adoption of assisted dying services.
Our Evening Medical Updates programme covers specialities, presentations and conditions included within the Internal Medicine Training (IMT) curriculum. Within these, we aim to cover topics from a range of clinical settings including the acute medical take, outpatients department, community care and critical care. The programme also includes a non-clinical update covering a range of topics. We also aim to release Special Edition Evening Medical Updates to cover current, relevant topics of discussion in healthcare to provide further education and updates from experts in the field.
The Evening Medical Update programme is available to view live or on-demand online from home, or live from a participating live-link site (see live-link tab for a site close to you). Delegates are able to submit questions via Slido and we will cover as many questions as possible during the live session, and any questions not answered will be done retrospectively and posted on our EMU pages.
