This guidance explores how medical and dental schools can create more inclusive curricula that better reflect the diversity of patients, students and healthcare professionals
It sets out practical approaches to reviewing and developing curriculum content, teaching, assessment and learning environments through a decolonising lens, with a focus on addressing historical and structural inequities in education and healthcare.
Drawing on examples of good practice from institutions across the UK, the report encourages schools to embed inclusion throughout the curriculum rather than treating it as a standalone topic. It highlights the importance of diverse perspectives, cultural humility, equitable representation in teaching materials and assessments, and creating learning environments where all students can thrive and feel a sense of belonging.
