<h3></h3> This presentation draws from ongoing research being undertaken through a Churchill Fellowship in response to the development of assisted dying legislation in England and Wales. The framework introduces a model in development that maps the psychosocial journey of patients and families across four stages: pre-application, application/coordination, administration, and bereavement in assisted dying. Findings are drawn from ongoing international research and practitioner, patient and family interviews conducted as part of the Fellowship. The purpose of the framework is twofold: first, to support psychosocial practitioners in recognising the unique dynamics of assisted dying, including protective and risk factors for distress and complicated bereavement; second, to provide a training model that strengthens the capacity of all staff to deliver care attuned to the social, relational, and existential dimensions of assisted dying. In doing so, the framework seeks to recentre the social aspects of death, as recognised in The Lancet Commission on the Value of Death. Each stage highlights distinct challenges with overarching themes relating to dimensions of total pain. The pre-application stage includes barriers such as limited public knowledge, gag clauses, stigma, and conscientious objection. The application process raises issues around decision-making, family conflict, eligibility, timeframes, assessments, paperwork, residency requirements, preparedness, scheduling, organ donation, feelings of burden, loss of meaning, and the ‘parade of lasts.’ The administration stage explores the psychosocial implications of self- versus physician-administration, shifts in funeral practices, the abruptness of death, and expectations. The bereavement stage identifies risks of delayed or complicated grief, isolation, and the need for specific support structures. As this research is ongoing, the framework remains under development. However, it offers an emerging lens for understanding how psychosocial care can be systematically embedded into assisted dying practice to mitigate harm, strengthen resilience, and foster compassionate, socially-informed end-of-life care.
