Abstract
An educational intervention, based on qualitative evidence of racism in healthcare, is described. Using vignettes from a previous project, interviews were conducted to gather qualitative evidence of racism in healthcare settings from a wide range of healthcare staff in Sweden. From this interview material, case studies were devised that were subsequently presented to trainee healthcare professionals, in a seminar discussion. After the seminar, trainees responded to reflective questions. The order of work, as well as the materials used, are described. This intervention was successful in facilitating discussion about racism in an educational context, despite the difficult nature of these conversations for some participants.

Summary
This article describes an educational intervention in healthcare training, discussing racism in healthcare as part of a larger Swedish Research Council funded project. As a first step towards being able to address racism in healthcare settings, we describe how we designed an educational intervention based on interview material about healthcare professionals’ As this work was participatory and qualitative, exploring whether and how racism can be discussed in a range of different healthcare settings, the design was emergent, even though it was planned prospectively.
