It raised awareness of the current issues and challenges facing people from diverse groups in accessing health and social care services, relating to age, race, gender, religion and disability. This module also presented data on health disparities and reasons for their existence; explored diversity and cultural similarities and differences in patient populations; and presented strategies for enhancing services for diverse populations at the individual, organisational and policy level. Learning outcomes On completion of this module students were able to: - discuss key concepts relating to cultural competence - race, ethnicity, culture and discrimination - define and describe a range of inequalities in health and social care relating to ethnicity and culture - describe common barriers to delivery and quality of health and social care in different ethnic groups - explain structural issues that sustain inequalities in health and social care and strategies to address these.
