Culture-centred care of people with life-limiting conditions

To provide appropriate care that responds to the specific needs of people with life-limiting conditions, it is important to recognise cultural considerations associated with end-of-life and bereavement.

Overview

TOPIC 4: Culture-centred care of people with life-limiting conditions will provide an opportunity to develop knowledge and skills associated with providing culturally appropriate care for people with life-limiting conditions.
