Abstract

This article outlines major religious practices observed in the UK and discusses how associated spiritual and religious custom and rites should be honoured by emergency practitioners. The article does not intend to be an all encompassing text on religion but to heighten awareness among emergency practitioners about various spiritual and religious considerations affecting patients and families under their care during critical and sometimes life-changing events in their life.

Keywords religion, spirituality, customs, rites, emergency, trauma care
