title: Caring for patients from ethnic minority groups.
abstract: The religious and cultural needs of a patient are just as important to them as their basic physiological and psychological needs. Robbins, when discussing the importance of holistic care, considers that the body, mind and spirit are three separate strands which comprise a whole person. It is very often the spiritual side that is neglected.
