DoBC Podcast - Putting Indigenous Cultural Safety into Practice
In this episode of the DoBC Podcast, Indigenous family physician, Dr Terri Aldred, and Indigenous Cultural Safety Coordinator and Consultant, Len Pierre, discuss how we can define and understand cultural safety and the complexities of addressing this systemic problem.
In response to disturbing allegations of anti-Indigenous racism in our health care system, the BC government appointed Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond to independently conduct a review. The findings were clear: Indigenous people are continually subjected to widespread, systemic racism which often results in negative experiences at the point of care, inequitable medical treatment, physical harm, and even death.
