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. It 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.
