Former quota refugees are known to have higher health and social care needs than the general population in resettlement countries. However, migrants with a refugee-like background (refugee-like migrants) in New Zealand are not currently offered systematic government-sponsored induction or health services. This study explored the experiences of New Zealand health and social care providers in general practice.

- Some people who move to new countries for safety, like refugees, need special health and social care when they arrive, but there's a group called refugee-like migrants who need more understanding.
- This study looked at the similarities and differences between refugee-like migrants and refugees in New Zealand based on their health needs and how often they use healthcare services.
- The findings suggest that both groups need similar health support, so countries should prepare to help both refugees and their refugee-like migrant family members.
Aims: New Zealanders dying in public hospitals or hospices are increasingly being discharged and admitted-to-die in aged residential care (ARC) facilities as hospitals and hospices struggle to meet demand. This study sought to investigate how care is delivered to patients admitted-to-die in an ARC facility.
Methods: A mixed-methods case study including a clinical notes review of seven patients who died in one ARC facility within three months of admission and a focus group with ARC facility staff and visiting professionals from other organisations.
