RCP clarifies position on assisted dying in relation to proposed legislation in the States of Guernsey

In the event that the States of Guernsey were to decide to legalise assisted dying, the RCP would be willing to provide advice in regard to the implications of such a law for medicine and for clinical practice on the island and to provide guidance as necessary to doctors. This will not in itself change the position of the RCP with regard to assisted dying and should not be interpreted as implying any change in the policy either now or in the future.
