Assisted Dying

At Phyllis Tuckwell, we are committed to providing high-quality specialist palliative and end-of-life care, ensuring that patients, families and carers receive the support they need. We focus on improving the wellbeing and quality of life for patients living with an advanced or terminal illness, while offering compassionate, dignified care at the end of life and then continue support for families and carers into bereavement.

We recognise that the views of staff, volunteers and trustees within Phyllis Tuckwell reflect the full spectrum of views on assisted dying that exist in society and recognise everyone’s right to their own opinion about it. 

We want to reassure our community that individual views will not affect access to our services, which remain available (subject to appropriate referral and resources) to anyone who needs it. 

We will continue to raise awareness of the importance of inclusive, appropriately funded palliative and Hospice Care, and challenge misconceptions around Hospice services.
