July 29, 2020

The requirement for nurse practitioner MAiD eligibility assessments to be conducted in person has been removed. This change supports the provision of an eligibility assessment virtually by a nurse practitioner when physical distancing requirements are in place. 

See our Medical Assistance in Dying A Practice Guideline for NPs, revised July 2020, for more information. 

For more information on your accountabilities when providing care to a client virtually, please refer to our website here
