Society has become increasingly diverse; multi-cultural,
multi-faith and wide ranging in family structures. The wealthier
are healthier and social inequalities are more pronounced.
Respecting and working with the range of 'differences' among
service users, families and communities in health and social care
with ill, dying and bereaved people is a neglected area in the
literature. As the principles of palliative and end of life care
increasingly permeate the mainstream of health and social care
services, it is important that professionals are sensitive and
respond to the differing needs of individuals from diverse
socio-economic backgrounds, ethnicities, beliefs, abilities and
sexual orientations, as well as to the different contexts and
social environments in which people live and die. This book
explores what underpins inequality, disadvantage and injustice in
access to good end of life care. Increasingly clinicians, policy
planners, and academics are concerned about inequity in service
provision. Internationally, there is an increasing focus and sense
of urgency both on delivering good care in all settings regardless
of diagnosis, and on better meeting the needs of vulnerable and
disadvantaged groups. National initiatives emphasise the importance
of resolving disparities in care and harnessing empowered user
voices to drive change. This newly expanded, fully revised second
edition, with 11 new chapters, provides a comprehensive analysis of
discrimination, difference and disadvantage in end of life care,
and offers practical guidance for all who seek to support the
equitable provision of good end of life care.
