Reframing images in healthcare
Thursday 16 October
This session will tell you all about the important work of the reframe project and how you can use the resources in your practice.
The aim of the Reframe project is to increase the visual representation of marginalised groups including Black, Asian and global majority, LGBTQIA+ and people with disabilities, in healthcare images.
Medical conditions often appear differently based on skin tone, but many healthcare images primarily feature lighter skin tones. This can lead to misdiagnoses for those with darker skin.
Representing diversity within images of the healthcare workforce is essential, because marginalised groups such as disabled individuals, the LGBTQIA+ community, and people from different ethnic backgrounds are currently underrepresented.
This resource will play a vital role in helping healthcare professionals and educators reduce health inequalities. Watch back to find out more.
