End-of-life care and physician-assisted dying: setting the scene

End-of-life care and physician-assisted dying: setting the scene This report outlines how the UK has led the way in the development of comprehensive and holistic care at the end of life, and we are recognised internationally for the standard and quality our healthcare system can provide. It does find that some problems persist, and there is significant scope for improvements to be made. This report sets the scene against which the qualitative research commissioned by the BMA has been conducted, outlining the context in which public, parliamentary, and professional debate has been conducted, and bringing together both peer-reviewed research and surveys of opinion.
