Skin Tone in Clinical Assessment and Research 

This one-hour CPD programme emphasises the importance of skin tone diversity in healthcare. It covers skin biology, classification systems, and disparities in medical diagnosis, treatment, and research. 

The course highlights the lack of diverse representation in medical education materials, simulation models, and clinical studies, which perpetuates inequities in care. It also explores the challenges in diagnosing conditions across different skin tones and the integration of emerging technologies and AI to reduce bias.

You will learn how to assess if a trial is viable and the ethical and regulatory duties of those leading studies. Data management and statistics are also covered to ensure accurate analysis of trial results. Finally, the course explores the clinical trials landscape in Ireland and the organisations involved in clinical research.

Communication Skills for Video and Telephone Consultation 

Video and telephone consultations in healthcare are not new, but the COVID-19 crisis forced many clinicians to rapidly take up these kinds of consultations as a feasible alternative to face-to-face consultations. This is often a type of consultation that staff has not encountered before. Applying the Calgary-Cambridge guide to video and telephone calls provides a structured and safe approach to this virtual format.
