Cultural Competence Training is in two parts (Self Awareness and Knowing Culture) and is designed specifically to ensure that delegates have the necessary knowledge, skills, and confidence to become more culturally competent in healthcare and research. It does so by looking at the essential components of cultural competence – self-awareness, depth of knowledge, the appropriate skills and practical application. The training is challenging and interactive.
