Finally, something that encompasses a range of skin colours! This document is so so unique and inclusive for everyone! I would totally recommend it to any healthcare student. I’m now doing my final year or in other words, my pre-registration year in the UK, and honestly never in my 4 years did I come across anything as good as this. Thank you, Jane!!
