Health and Disability: Partnerships in Action

‘Health and Disability: Partnerships in Action’ is a new teaching and learning package, produced through an interprofessional collaboration between dentists, dietitians, medical practitioners, nurses, occupational therapists, paramedics, physiotherapists, social workers, speech pathologists and students. The package focuses on:

At the CDDHV, we recognise that those living with a disability are the experts on their own experience, and so their direct involvement in and contribution to the education of health care professionals is essential. We also believe that by improving their understanding of the health issues of people with disabilities and those who support them, health professionals will acquire valuable attitudes, knowledge and skills applicable to many other patients in their practice populations, including those with communication or cognitive difficulties, and those whose disadvantage and/or vulnerability requires their health professionals to provide proactive health care and advocacy.

Through ‘meeting’ people with disabilities students gain a personal context for their learning.
