Come join a group of colleagues for a dedicated day out of work to complete the mandatory voluntary assisted dying training. You will then be able to provide assessments for your patients seeking access voluntary assisted dying and participate in VAD to the level you feel personally comfortable.

This event is being hosted in Parkville. You'll be sent venue details closer to the time.

Complete the mandatory training

• A semi-structured time frame to work through the online modules
• Regular summary of key points of each module provided through the day
• Supported by the voluntary assisted dying care navigators

Meet with voluntary assisted dying clinicians

• Gain insight into the personal and professional experience of participating in voluntary assisted dying and get some tips on completing assessments

Meet and greet with state-wide services

• Meet with the state-wide voluntary assisted dying support team – someone from each of the Secretariat who review VAD assessments and applications, the pharmacy, the Review Board and the Navigator service

This will be a full day but the aim is to enable you to get through the training in the most effective (and enjoyable) way possible, with input from the state-wide services and medical colleagues.

This event is open to any doctor in Victoria, who is a Fellow of a medical college, including newly admitted. Consider making a weekend away of it if you don't live locally.
