Te Whatu Ora – The Assisted Dying Service
The Assisted Dying Service Team at Te Whatu Ora is responsible for the operation of assisted dying services throughout New Zealand. This includes providing a person- centred, equitable and accessible service to the New Zealand public.
Clinical advisors (Senior Nurses) in Te Whatu Ora provide information and support to help a person and their whānau navigate the assisted dying process, as well as the involved practitioners, connecting people to health professionals who provide the service.
