Abstract
Palliative care for minority ethnic groups remains a poorly accessed and limited area in district nursing. This article outlines a hospice apprentice programme that aims to promote and expand the use of specialist palliative and end of life care services for a South Asian community through increasing access and referrals, improving services by making them more culturally appropriate for black and minority ethnic (BME) people, involving BME people in the delivery of services, and creating better relationships between BME communities and providers
