Patients in Ontario who will self-administer MAID can use this clinician aid to make a written advance consent arrangement. The physician or nurse practitioner agrees to be present at self-administration and, if the patient loses capacity and does not die within a specified period, to administer a backup drug protocol under section 241.2(3.5) of the Criminal Code. It is valid only after all other safeguards, including two independent eligibility assessments, are met.
The practitioner prescribing or providing the self-administration protocol completes Section 3, initials the Section 4 terms with the patient, and signs Section 7. The patient, or an authorized person signing in their presence and under their direction, completes Sections 1, 2 and 6.

It lets a physician or nurse practitioner administer a second, backup substance if a patient who self-administered MAID loses capacity and does not die within the period set in the arrangement. The patient's advance consent waives the requirement to give express consent immediately before that second substance.
Under this arrangement, yes. The patient agrees that the physician or nurse practitioner will be present when they self-administer the MAID drug protocol, which is one of the Criminal Code conditions for giving the backup substance.
No. Clinician Aid D-1, the waiver of final consent, covers MAID administered by the practitioner when natural death is reasonably foreseeable, under section 241.2(3.2). D-2 covers self-administration and the backup protocol only, under section 241.2(3.5) of the Criminal Code.
