Thanks for this, Fiona - looks good. I have some other Age Concern publications which are very popular (e.g. Dignity on the ward).
I've also got a very practical booklet by Dr Moussa Jogee called Religions and cultures: guide to beliefs and customs for health staff and social care services. It deals with things like diet, washing, attitudes to birth and death of most major world religions.
Available from the author at 13 Hopewood Court, The Stables, Dalgety Bay, Fife KY11 9TF.

I know, this isn't the kind of thing we would usually share, but the
nurses here think its great as background on this topic, and its not
from the publisher you might expect!
