Abstract
Advance care planning supports decision-making autonomy for patients at the end of life. However, research has shown that the uptake of advance care planning is often low among people from minority ethnic backgrounds. This article explores the systemic and intracultural barriers experienced by people from minority ethnic backgrounds when planning care at the end of life. The author also offers a conceptual framework to support greater equity and access to advance care planning in these populations.
