The Colour of Health

There are medical conditions that affect some communities more than others. Rather than just genetics, this is down to an interplay of biological, social and environmental factors. We look at two medical conditions that are more prevalent in black women, lupus and fibroids, and discuss causes, support and solutions.

Our dialogue events confront the biggest topics in science head-on. Whether you’re new to a subject or a well-versed authority, dialogue events are your chance to have your say on issues that matter with experts and with each other.

This event is part of the audience-led programme.
