Palliative Care in a Diverse World

In this episode of Beyond the Stethoscope, we explore how cultural diversity shapes end-of-life care. Drawing from the study Managing Cultural Diversity in End-of-Life Care, Lori, Rachel, and Laura discuss the challenges nurses face — from language barriers and cultural beliefs to spirituality, family dynamics, and system constraints — and why cultural humility and patient-centred care matter more than ever. A thoughtful conversation on providing dignified, inclusive care at the end of life.
