4/4 Please take a look at Table 4 of the report and the section on 'Data collection, monitoring and reporting systems', for more information about data reporting as well as examples of data more and less commonly reported.

3/4 Demographic data about individuals enable countries to monitor access and identify service gaps, but there are gaps in terms of the needs of particular groups. For instance, there are limited international data on the number of prisoners requesting and receiving an assisted death.

2/4 Nearly all jurisdictions studied in this research publish formal reports, usually annually, which include data summarising assisted dying activity. They adopt a variety of approaches though, with differences in the scope and scale of data collected and published.

1/4 If you're interested in data about assisted dying, take a look at the Appendix of this new Nuffield Trust report. It collates international data about numbers requesting & accessing an assisted death, demographic characteristics, health and care needs and key reporting information.

New comment piece by me & colleagues in @bmj.com on the using health data for research in UK

Processes are so complex and so slow now that less research is happening and we are wasting the enormous potential of the NHS to drive innovation

NEW ANALYSIS explores how approaches to #AssistedDying vary internationally.

The Nuffield Trust holds a neutral position on the legalisation of assisted dying in the UK.

Our analysis reviews the evidence for jurisdictions where it has been implemented, to help inform debate.

Nice to meet you, Ellen! Is it OK to pop you an email at your Uni account and perhaps we can arrange a time to chat?

Thank you - this is really useful!

Having made the move to Bluesky, v interested to connect with others interested in prisoner health. Here is a link to our Nuffield Trust prisoner health research and we have more to come.
