How to get the right adjustments at work
How to get the right adjustments at work
This presentation provides a practical framework for identifying and avoiding disability-related disadvantage at work, with particular reference to disabled and neurodivergent clinicians.
The starting point is not a diagnosis or a list of possible reasonable adjustments. It is the disadvantage created by the interaction between the individual, the work or training environment and, in clinical practice, the needs of patients.
The process is the responsibility of the organisation. The disabled clinician should be fully involved, and specialist advice may be needed, but they should not be expected to identify and coordinate the solution themselves.
The framework follows the process from identifying and understanding the disadvantage, through obtaining adequate information and identifying effective steps, to considering reasonableness, implementation, review and continuity.
