Webinar: Assisted Dying Legislation | Lung Cancer Nursing UK

Webinar: Assisted Dying Legislation

Wednesday 21st January 2026 12:30pm - 13:30pm

In our first webinar of 2026, Yogi Amin, Solicitor with specialism in Public Law and Human Rights, will share guidance on Assisted Dying Legislation.

This webinar is intended for UK-based registered health care professionals who are seeking to reflect on and understand this topic in light of evolving global practice.

The topic of assisted dying is once again at the forefront of national attention, with bills currently progressing through both the Scottish and UK Parliaments. The Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, in particular, has significant implications for clinical practice across the UK. As public discourse intensifies and legal reform becomes increasingly plausible, many healthcare professionals are seeking clarity, support and education to help them prepare for the potential changes ahead.

All healthcare professionals are welcome to join this webinar and to participate in the Q&A session that will follow the presentation.
