Dr Gillian Wright is Director of Our Duty of Care, group of healthcare professionals opposing the intentional killing of patients by assisted suicide and euthanasia. Gillian is a former palliative care doctor with additional specialist training in medical ethics.
Are you concerned about assisted suicide and the negative impacts that a change in the law would have on care for your patients and the vulnerable in our society?
Healthcare professionals are in a unique position to explain how decriminalising assisted suicide would impact patients and the services that support them. Most MPs do not have a background in health or care and your expertise can help them understand the dangers of this bill.
The ODOC team is here to support and equip you to engage with your MP. Join us for an introduction to the assisted dying bill and hear from colleagues who have contacted and met with their MPs.
Our duty of care is a group of UK healthcare workers who oppose the intentional killing of patients by assisted suicide or euthanasia.
The campaign is administered by David Randall, a consultant nephrologist working in London, and Gillian Wright, a former palliative care doctor based in Scotland.
It is supported by a wide range of healthcare professionals, and has campaigned during the membership polls run by the Royal College of Physicians, Royal College of General Practitioners and British Medical Association to maintain medical opposition to assisted suicide. We are a campaign that is financed and administered by the Care Not Killing Alliance.
