The scenario

Mr Barry is a 55 year old Aboriginal man from the Pilbara, admitted to hospital with end-stage renal failure and requiring specialist care. Due to distance, he has no family present and he is unhappy, disengaged and confused. Mr Barry and the health care team also have conflicting opinions regarding his long-term medical management. The hospital’s Aboriginal Liaison Officer is working with Mr Barry and the team to help them understand each other and help Mr Barry receive optimal care.
