Dear All, Does anyone have any guidance notes for nurses with disabilities going out onto placement? We are thinking of developing some here at TVU for example, if a student does not want to declare to the placement staff that they are dyslexic and yet they have difficulty with writing patient notes, they may need to always make sure they cross check those notes are accurate with another member of staff etc. Another example would be the procedures that should be followed by students who are HIV or Hepetitis B positive (these are generally in place for all students but we don't have anything written down as such that we can give the students as guidance) and just in case you're wondering our last intake of nurses in March saw eighteen people who have one or both of these conditions. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If people are interested in them once I have done these, don't hold your breathes) I will try and remember to disseminate.
