Tasmanian GP Dr Keith McArthur joins Nightshift to discuss VAD, General Practice, Telehealth and Medicare reform.
In this episode of Nightshift, Dr Keith McArthur shares frontline insights into delivering Voluntary Assisted Dying (VAD) in Tasmania, the pressures facing rural and community GPs, and the importance of the upcoming Tasmanian VAD review.
We explore:
• How VAD operates in General Practice in Tasmania
• The need for a dedicated online VAD portal for doctors
• Barriers to GP participation and administrative burden
• Equity of access challenges for patients
• Why Telehealth restrictions and Medicare item number issues must be urgently resolved by the Federal Government
This episode examines how policy, digital systems and funding structures directly impact end-of-life care access — particularly for regional and vulnerable patients.
Nightshift provides in-depth Australian coverage of Voluntary Assisted Dying policy, practice and reform.
