| Annotation | We live in an increasingly diverse society, both culturally and religiously. Rituals surrounding dying and death differ between faiths. To provide appropriate end-of-life care, it is essential that healthcare workers have an understanding of the practices and beliefs of patients and their families. This article outlines the basic principles for the major religions in the UK: Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Sikhism, Judaism, and Buddhism. (RH). |
