Medical Assistance in dying: navigating new legislative terrain and supporting family grief Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID), the practice of intentionally ending the life of a patient at their request to alleviate suffering, has been legal in Canada since 2016. In 2021, changes to Canada’s MAID laws are resulting in significant changes to nursing practice. In this workshop, we will: provide an overview of MAID legislation in Canada and its implications for nurses; discuss the nursing role in MAID care; and review recent research about how MAID influences family grief.
