A bereavement care service to address multicultural user needs.
A bereavement care service was set up in a large, acute NHS trust to understand and address the multicultural and multifaith needs of all its users. The service has not only facilitated support and guidance for friends and relatives at a time of great need and vulnerability, it has also made professionals throughout the trust aware of the importance of death with dignity.
