This episode features Jamilla Akhter Hussain (Wolfson Palliative Care Research Centre, Hull York Medical School, Hull, UK), Jonathan Koffman (Cicely Saunders Institute of Palliative Care and Rehabilitation, King's College London, London, UK) and Sabrina Bajwah (Cicely Saunders Institute of Palliative Care and Rehabilitation, King's College London, London, UK). This podcast describes an editorial which explores the issue of racism in palliative care. The authors explores definitions of racism and highlight the importance to acknowledge that racial and minority ethnic disadvantage exists in palliative care. The authors argue that ant-racist action should be taken and describe mechanisms to facilitate this. The authors highlight how changes at the individual, community and organisational level need to be alongside policies and actions to address structural issues because racism is a system-level issue.
