<h3>Background</h3> According to The Worldwide Hospice Palliative Care Alliance (WHPCA), palliative care is regarded as one of the most inequitable areas of healthcare (WHPCA. Leave no-one behind: equity in access to palliative care: a report for World Hospice Palliative Care Day 2021.). While there is growing evidence on the various inequalities that exist within palliative and end-of-life care, little is known about how these inequalities co-exist within complex systems involving palliative and end-of-life care (Davies, Sleeman, Leniz, et al. PLoS Med. 2019 Apr 23;16(4):e1002782). Intersectionality offers a valuable lens for understanding the connections between these inequalities and characteristics of diversity, and, how they may collectively influence our lived experiences of palliative and end-of-life care (Crenshaw. Stanford Law Rev. 1991;43(6):1241–99). <h3>Aim</h3> To outline and synthesise research on intersectionality and access to palliative care, summarising current evidence and identifying priorities for future research. <h3>Methods</h3> This review will be guided by the JBI Scoping Review Methodology and adhere to the PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews) guidelines (Peters, Godfrey, McInerney, et al. Scoping reviews. <i>In</i>: Aromataris, Lockwood, Porritt, et al. (eds). JBI Manual for Evidence Synthesis. Adelaide: JBI; 2024; Tricco, Lillie, Zarin, et al. Ann Intern Med. 2018;169(7):467-473). A systematic search across nine electronic databases published within the last 10 years (2014–2024) will be supplemented by grey literature searches. Eligible studies will be screened independently by two reviewers using a data charting tool developed for this scoping review. <h3>Results</h3> Data will be synthesised using descriptive numerical summaries and qualitative thematic synthesis to map the extent, range, and nature of available evidence. In addition, key themes will be identified across studies, focusing on how intersectional factors influence access, experiences, and outcomes in palliative and end-of-life care. <h3>Conclusions</h3> The results will enable an improved understanding of the systemic barriers faced by persons with intersecting identities, inform more inclusive care, guide policy development toward equitable service provision, and contribute to the evidence base on diversity, equity and inclusion in palliative and end-of-life care.
