WHY WE MUST PRACTISE TRANSCULTURAL MEDICINE Health professionals
and GPs should concern themselves with ethnicity, religion and
culture as much as with the age, sex and social class of their
patients. Transcultural medicine is the knowledge of medical and
communication encounters between a doctor or health worker of one
ethnic group and a patient of another. It embraces the physical,
psychological and social aspects of care as well as the scientific
aspects of culture, religion and ethnicity without getting involved
in the politics of segregation or integration. English general
practitioners and health professionals tend to regard everyone as
English, and to assume that all patients have similar needs. Would
that it were as simple as that! For economic reasons - based on
supply and demand - the mass migration of working populations from
the new Commonwealth countries, along with their dependent
relatives (including their parents) to Britain took place during
one decade - the 1960s. Broadly speaking, the workers were in their
thirties and forties, and their dependent parents were in their
fifties and sixties. All these will, of course, be 30 years older
in the 1990s.
