“The College believes that we can do better in providing compassionate care to those who are dying than to introduce assisted suicide and euthanasia in Ireland.”
Read the College’s response to the report by the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying.

@MauraHeffernan2 Congrats Ger 👏

[Laura Durcan @Rheum2improve]

Whilst blanket bans are silly, there are innumerable clinical staff hired with no space to see patients, no desk to work at, no admin support to access charts.

These hires will not be able to impact wait lists because they are not able to see patients.

There's vitriolic misinformation about CervicalCheck circulating, due to release of Dr Holohan's book 'We Need To Talk'.

Very angry people who believe women were not told they had cancer.

I thought it's worth writing another thread to try counter these very harmful myths. /1

[Prof. Ronan Collins @ronancollins7]

Assisting someone to die well is a very different thing to administering euthanasia ..our efforts as a humane society should surely concentrate on good care first and access to that good care....legislating for assisted dying is fraught with sinister ethical dangers
