Partners in Practice - A Workshop for Change
About this Workshop:
Disabled people have a history of oppression, disadvantage and
disempowerment. But Health Professionals have responsibility to offer
equality of access and outcome to all patients.
Which sounds more familiar to you?
Segregation - Us and Them
Integration - Us with Them
Inclusion - Us as Them
Attitudes, communication and partnership have been identified as important
factors in empowering individuals to access and use health services on an
equal basis.

for health professionals? Yes? Then join us in Bristol!
