SUMMARY:CTIS Research Seminar: "A Cross-Cultural Exploration of the Perso
 n-Centred Approach in End-of-Life Care Policies in England and Japan" (D

DESCRIPTION:Increasing evidence suggests that a person-centred approach (
 PCA) improves care outcomes and alleviates pressure on public health sys
 tems. However\, policy gaps prevent its effective translation into pract
 ical\, ethical\, and moral guidance for end-of-life care (EOLC). In this
  talk\, I aim to explore the meaning and implications of person-centredn
 ess in EOLC policy discourses\, particularly from a cross-cultural persp
 ective in England and Japan. By critically analysing policy documents fr
 om 2000 to 2019\, I examine how PCA is shaped by socio-cultural contexts
  in these two distinct countries. I identify three interconnected dimens
 ions of PCA in EOLC policies: individual\, relational\, and existential.
  While both countries have developed policies promoting holistic care\, 
 I found significant gaps\, including ambiguity in defining patients' bes
 t interests\, fragmented support for social and family care\, and neglec
 t of existential needs. My cross-cultural analysis reveals the complex n
 ature of PCA in EOLC policies\, which often emphasise different aspects 
 of the end-of-life experience. I argue that a more holistic understandin
 g of PCA is needed in EOLC policies\, one that integrates cultural and e
 xistential factors. This approach would better address the multifaceted 
 nature of end-of-life experiences\, not only in England and Japan but gl
 obally.
