Culturally sensitive care in a forensic setting.
In the forensic service there is a disproportionate number of ethnic minority patients. Providing culturally sensitive care has not been given a high priority within formal nurse education in the past. This article describes a training programme for nurses working in a forensic service aimed at promoting culturally sensitive care. The programme included methods of raising awareness, motivation and interest in training on this subject.
