The Jersey Dying Well Group is an unincorporated group of individuals and representatives from several organisations based in Jersey and elsewhere that includes local national and international expertise. The group has a desire to see the continued development of palliative and end of life care to be the best achievable in Jersey.
The group, which is chaired by retired local GP, John Stewart-Jones oppose the introduction of the proposed law on Assisted Suicide and Euthanasia, holding a similar position in line with 85% of specialists who are members of the Association of Palliative Medicine of Great Britain & Ireland, and who have stated that they would not be involved in physician assisted suicide or euthanasia in any way.
The Jersey Dying Well Group is working alongside the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Dying Well that is based in Westminster, and funding for any work relating to this has come both from concerned local Jersey people as well as central funds..
