@Nuala_McG Yes me too @Nuala_McG - we all need to play our part #TeamCPPE

Thanks @SnehaVariaand @mwbstyles great twitter chat on cultural competence tonight 👏🏻👏🏻. #CPPEcareChat

@mwbstyles @cppeengland @NHS_HealthEdEng Lots of opportunities to reflect and it’s has enabled me to complete my reflective account for this years revalidation entry by thinking about how it relates to my professionalism and leadership @TheGPhC #CPPEcareChat

@cppeengland I thoroughly recommend browsing these resources, there is a link to the fantastic @NHS_HealthEdEng e-learning for health cultural competence programme #CPPEcareChat

If you're looking for a handy one-stop suite of learning to develop your culturally competent person-centred care, have a look at the resources on our gateway page (& our website saves your progress as you work through): cppe.ac.uk/gateway/cultco… #CPPEcareChat #CulturalCompetence

@CppeEllen @cppeengland Absolutely- a “one size fits all” approach doesn’t help anybody. We need to ask people what is important to them and go from there. #CPPEcareChat

Providing person-centred care does not mean treating people how YOU want to be treated; it is about treating people how THEY want to be treated. #CPPEcareChat @cppeengland

@mwbstyles @SnehaVaria #CPPEcareChat this was highlighted for me in the opening video of our campaign. We shouldn’t assume, we should ask to make sure we respect the person we are talking to.

Culture can help us understand the needs of our patients but if we don’t understand their culture sometimes cannot understand barriers to care. We need to make an effort to understand. @AnnaRobPharm has been doing some excellent research work around this. #CPPEcareChat

@PaulaCPPE @Nuala_McG @cppeengland I think if we are honest we have all done this at some point @PaulaCPPE it’s all about raising our awareness and making changes going forward so that we don’t keep making the same mistakes #CPPECareChat

@Nuala_McG @cppeengland I am embarrassed to admit that yes, I have made assumptions #CPPEcareChat and even more embarrassing I haven’t thought about the impact. Not that I did that with a bad intention, just without thinking 🤔😞

@ClaireCPPE @cppeengland Yes, and so sad that this is still the case. We need to change this. #CPPEcareChat

@cppeengland Ethnic minority groups are disproportionately affected by socio-economic deprivation, a key determinant of health status. #CPPEcareChat

Question 2- How do you think culture can impact on health, and how those within the pharmacy profession interact with patients and the public? #CPPEcareChat

@SnehaVaria Absolutely, I really value being part of a diverse team and have had my perceptions challenged on more than one occasion! #CPPEcareChat

It’s good to challenge our perceptions and question assumptions #CPPEcareChat

@Anniesellers_ @cppeengland Have a great time @Anniesellers_
