Goals of cultural safety action plan
The main goal of developing cultural safety action plan is to enable me to improve my health
services to patients and communication skills while attending to a patient who does not understand
English language to avoid language barrier. The communication skills will help me understand the
medical needs of patients and their family members by overcoming language barrier.
In order to improve my communication skills and understanding of my patients based on their
cultural practices and beliefs, I will attend various nursing workshops organized by the ministry of
health. For example, during workshop seminar, I will be able learn how to overcome language barriers
while offering medical services to patients who are not well conversant with the English language like
learning other languages.
