Mind the Gap: A handbook of clinical signs in Black and Brown skin
online resource
posted on 12.08.2020, 13:00 by Malone Mukwende, Peter Tamony, Margot TurnerMind the Gap is a Handbook to raise awareness of how symptoms and signs can present differently on darker skin as well as highlighting the different language that needs to be used in descriptors.
The aim of this booklet is to educate students and essential allied health care professionals on the importance of recognising that certain clinical signs do not present the same on darker skin. This is something which is not commonly practiced in medical textbooks. It is important that we as future healthcare professionals are aware of these differences so that we don’t compromise our care for certain groups.
