AI Article Synopsis
- Wound care practitioners are seeing more patients with diverse skin tones, but existing research and education don’t adequately address this diversity.
- This gap can lead to poorer care and reinforce inequities in healthcare access and treatment.
- Francesca Ramadan discusses specific actions—both quantitative and qualitative—that can enhance inclusivity and cultural sensitivity in wound care research, education, and clinical practice.

Here, Francesca Ramadan outlines both the quantitative and qualitative steps that can be taken to facilitate more inclusive and culturally sensitive care provision in research, education and clinical practice.
