Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is cultural competence?

    Cultural competence is the ability to recognise, understand and appreciate differences in values, beliefs and behaviours among people from diverse cultural backgrounds. It includes knowledge of different cultures and their histories, an understanding of how culture influences behaviour and communication styles, awareness of your own biases and assumptions, as well as in-depth skills for engaging respectfully with people from different backgrounds. 

  • What are the benefits of ensuring regular cultural competence training?

    Cultural competence can be beneficial in any type of interaction—including professional, educational and social. It is essential for creating positive outcomes and a sense of inclusion when interacting with others.

  • What is PEG feeding?

    PEG feeding, or Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy feeding, is a medical procedure for delivering nutrition. This type of feeding can be used for individuals who are unable to take in enough nutrition through their mouth—or those at risk of malnutrition. PEG tubes can also be used for long-term feeding and administering medication.

  • What does the PEG feeding process involve?

    The procedure involves placing a small tube directly into the stomach through the abdominal wall. The tube is then used to provide enteral nutrition (liquid food) straight into the stomach.
