Experiences of obstetric anaesthesia care among minoritised ethnic groups in England: a qualitative study

There is a mismatch between women's expectations and healthcare professionals' approaches to communicating and providing obstetric analgesia. Improved communication, kindness, and cultural awareness may enhance trust and support informed decision-making. Further research is required to investigate women's concerns about pain relief alongside healthcare professionals' attitudes, and how these shape equitable, person-centred anaesthetic care.
