Cultural Safety
Captions available
The idea
Cultural safety means creating a space where patients can speak with health professionals without judgment or discrimination.
In practice
Ask open questions about beliefs and practices that matter to the patient's care, rather than assuming based on appearance or background.
Where people slip
Avoid questions that assume, such as "Are you married?"; ask about relationship status in open terms instead.
