Skin of Colour in Primary Care

Skin of Colour in Primary Care is organized by MediConf UK Ltd and will be held on Feb 03, 2027.

Learning Objectives:
Improving diagnosis of common dermatological conditions in skin of colour Dermatology developed as a specialty in Europe in the 19th Century, so the first descriptions of skin conditions were based on their appearance on white skin. However, 200 years later, our textbooks and teaching at every stage of medical education are still lacking in representation of all skin tones. This results in under diagnosis and under treatment of people of non-European ethnicity. In this session we will explore the different presentations of common conditions in skin of colour, learning how to recognise and treat people from diverse backgrounds, taking into account lifestyle factors and cultural preferences.
