This summary report outlines findings and reflections from a year-long, research project by Dr Judith Honeyfield and Cath Fraser into the health care experiences of Māori and Chinese older people in Aotearoa New Zealand that aims to better prepare nursing graduates for culturally-centred aged health provision.

The research identified a number of key themes from interviews with older persons in aged care, nursing students and nursing educators which could offer support for educators moving students from personal reflection to application of cultural consciousness with real-life examples.
