Equity in Every Shade: Advancing Skin Tone-Inclusive Wound Assessment

About this event

Equity in Every Shade: Advancing Skin Tone-Inclusive Wound Assessment

Discover how skin tone impacts wound assessment (including pressure injury assessment) and why inclusive care matters. Join Nyechuor Deng, a passionate nursing student and health equity advocate from Western University (and OntWIG's new Student Executive Network Officer), as she explores gaps in current wound-care practices and shares practical, evidence-based strategies to improve outcomes for patients of all skin tones.

Whether you're a student, clinician, or educator, this virtual session will challenge your perspective and equip you with tools to deliver more equitable care. OntWIG membership is not required to participate. 

Let’s close the colour gap in wound care—together.
