I believe being continuously aware and open to discuss differences in cultures are important to acknowledge and appreciate different cultures. This may include expressing your appreciation of different cultures and just being self-aware of the limitations you have in understanding/ truly associating with another person’s cultural experiences.
I always try to be open and honest with patients. I lead cultural discussions with curiosity and acceptance, and if relevant and appropriate, will share how my own culture influences my thoughts/ decisions.

In South Africa we are cultural diverse country and the more you learn about different cultures as a palliative/professional is the more you would have confidence to approach different people and not make assumptions and cause an upset to people not only on patient’s but also at the workplace so it is very important to respect other people’s culture in other to work in harmony.
