Around 15% of the population is estimated to have a neurodevelopmental difference, such as ADHD, dyslexia, or autism. This number tends to be significantly higher in industries that champion creativity and lateral thinking – such as P&O.
This virtual webinar offers an introduction to the topic of neurodiversity, from a neurodivergent perspective. It explores the most common neurodivergent conditions and seeks to explain why we think, feel, and act the way we do. It looks at practical, holistic ways to accommodate and work with neurodivergent traits – not just for neurodivergent patients, but for neurodivergent staff and other stakeholders too.
This will be followed by a discussion on the NHS England project, what inclusive design looks like in higher education and how this can be applied in Prosthetic and Orthotic placement settings and the workplace to provide equity and inclusion for Disabled people.
This course will be useful for Placement Educators, Managers, Service Leads in P+O and the wider AHP community, Clinical staff, and anyone wanting to learn more about neurodiversity, inclusive design, and Disability in the workplace.
Webinar
Tuesday 17/9/24 9.30 am – 12.30 pm.
