AimTo explore the importance of health workforce training, particularly in newly regulated healthcare practices such as assisted dying (AD). This study aims to analyse the socio-demographic factors associated with health professionals' completion of the e-learning module and attendance at the two webinars provided by the New Zealand Ministry of Health - Manatū Hauora (MH) and whether completion of the e-learning module and webinars supported health professionals' understanding of the End of Life Choices Act 2019.MethodSecondary analysis of the MH workforce surveys conducted in July 2021.ResultsThe study findings indicate that health professionals who are older, of Pākehā/European ethnicity and work in hospice settings are more likely to complete the e-learning module, while females are more likely to attend webinars.ConclusionDespite low completion and attendance rates, the study highlights the positive association between training and health professionals' overall understanding of the Act. These results emphasise the need for enhancing training programmes to increase health professionals' knowledge and competence with AD. Furthermore, the research proposes focussing on healthcare practitioners in the early stages of their careers and not directly engaged in offering AD services, as well as Māori and Pasifika health practitioners.
