A group of global experts convened for an online meeting in September 2022 to develop this international consensus document, focusing on inclusive language, assessment, and treatment of all skin tones, to improve patient outcomes. The members of the expert group work in different areas of the world, with differing patient groups and within different healthcare systems; the aim of this meeting and the resulting document was to learn from shared experiences and provide guidance on best practice to improve outcomes for all patients, with a differing range of skin tones.
This international consensus document aims to:
Provide practical guidance on accurate assessment and diagnosis in all skin tones
Provide guidance on language and descriptors to use, aiding clear patient communication
Discuss different geographical and cultural considerations across the globe
Dispel myths relating to skin tones
Focus on the future, the need for education and how outcomes can continue to improve.
The overall aim is to improve clinician confidence in delivering best practice to all patients, with the ultimate aim of improving patient experiences and outcomes.
