‘This opportunity will further my knowledge in culturally competent care, ensure care is sensitive to cultural identity and heritage, will mean my own professional approach is more responsive to the beliefs and cultural needs of patients cared for and support culturally sensitive dialogues within the work environment to be open, inclusive, and empowering.
