title: Nurses and doctors need to discuss end of life care.
abstract: I am an RCN fellow and regret the decision of RCN council to adopt a neutral position in the debate on assisted dying. It is questionable whether it is possible to be neutral in such circumstances. Nursing is not carried out in isolation. Nurses are part of a team of practitioners acting in concert for the welfare of patients.
