It is wonderful to see this initiative being implemented – particularly with Dr Dinesh Palipana OAM and Mandy Frier involved, both of whom were guest speakers at our “Fair and Accessible Healthcare” webinar earlier this week.
“Queensland Health has launched an online course to increase health worker confidence, knowledge, and skills to support consumers with disability.
This training is designed for all Queensland Health staff regardless of role, location, level or experience.
People with disability often face significant barriers when accessing healthcare and health services.
The course will provide health staff with:
- * Enhanced awareness of the healthcare barriers
- * An understanding of our responsibilities to provide equitable, inclusive care
- * Practical strategies to support the delivery of inclusive care
- * Insight into unconscious bias, reasonable adjustments, and the impact of restrictive practices
- * Increased knowledge to support accessible, person-centred, and responsive practice.”
