Improving quality and safety of cancer care for people from ethnic minority backgrounds: what do consumers want?
Current practices leave people from ethnic minority backgrounds more vulnerable to compromises in quality and safety of care. Involving people from ethnic minority communities relevant to the local area in service design and evaluation is essential to inform practice change. Further consideration is required to address resourcing issues and provide governance support to enable care that is flexible and equipped to respond to varied language and cultural support needs.
