Well Aiman Alzetani, a consultant cardiothoracic surgeon at Southampton General Hospital, thinks so.
/// Practices such as washing before and after meals, shaking hands with members of the opposite sex and male relatives seeing female Islamic patients without a hijab on were just some of the instances cited by Mr Alzetani. ///
Perhaps before going into religious sensitivities, we should make sure that the basic human requirements are addressed first, I am referring to recent cases of elderly patients being forced to lie in their own urine and excretions.

\\\\\ i know that doctors have enough time to swan and fart about\\\\
How dare you !
Getting in to the hospital at 10.am, coffee to start with, then 20 minutes work before lunch. A secretary of staff nurse, organised for a pub lunch, followed by a bit of "nooky" in a lay-by and then drop her back to the hospital. A drink and a game of snooker at the "Gentleman's Club" followed by a couple of hours of snooker before going home to the wife and family..... hardly "swanning and farting about."

He's talking about the female doctors, aog ;-)
Naomi, presumably the patient's needs would take precedence. Some of those are already in place- dietary preferences, female staff only, etc. Perhaps people might leave hospital having realised that none of their usual rituals were actually necessary :D

Any training helping staff to understand the patient and provide nursing care should be given, for it is advantageous to form a good relationship with the patient. The better they feel the faster they heal. But training just pandering to cultural preferences when someone chooses to live in a country that doesn't hold the same values, is probably not justifiable on cost grounds alone. And on top of that one creates a rod for one's own back spreading the fallacy that everyone here should lean over backwards to avoid offence. The typical example given of not shaking hands with someone of the opposite sex, if one insists on rules like that then live where the society supports that requirement, not where they are more enlightened.
