On 25 June, 2021, Spain’s Organic Law 3/2021 on the Regulation of Euthanasia (LORE) came into force, making Spain the fourth European country to decriminalise both euthanasia and assisted suicide. As we approach the four-year anniversary of its coming into effect, we take this opportunity to reflect on its implementation and assess the progress made.
The management of requests for assisted dying in each Autonomous Community, the role of the Commissions of Guarantees (committees that assess each case), the challenges faced by professionals, the interpretation of the law, and judicial involvement all present significant issues. Drawing on four years of experience, this webinar examines each challenge in turn:

- Albert Tuca. Medical oncologist. Hospital Clínic of Barcelona. UB-Clínic Chair of Palliative Care. President of the Euthanasia Guarantees Commission of Catalonia
Professional challenges in managing euthanasia requests
- Albert Planes. Family Physician, ICS. Member of the Ethics Group of the Catalan Society of Family Medicine. Member of the Guarantees Commission of Catalonia.

Mental health is a fundamental component of overall health and individual well-being, and for that reason, it is also a structural pillar of social, cultural, and economic progress in society. It is also a highly sensitive indicator of the growing impact of economic crises, epidemics, climate change, and social inequalities.
On July 1st, we aim to reflect on mental health, with a special focus on its effects on society, the stigma it carries, and the phenomenon of suicide.
