Dr Sally Higginbottom talks to Dr Morounkeji Ogunrinde, a GP in north central London and a Medical Education Fellow at UCL who is leading on a project which aims to diversify teaching in dermatology so that students, clinicians, nurses can recognise normal skin as well as common and complex skin conditions in darker skin tones where there has been a gap in the availability of learning resources within this population of people.

Within the podcast, the need to understand darker skin tones to offer the kind of care needed, to avoid delay in diagnosis and provide the most suitable treatments is discussed along with a range of different skin conditions including eczema, psoriasis, alopecia, and skin cancer, how they appear within more pigmented skin and how they should be treated. Useful resources for further learning and signposting to helpful organisations are also highlighted.
