Learning event
Donna Scarrott is a Sister in the Discharge Lounge at Alexandra Hospital who lives and works with a rare form of Muscular Dystrophy.
She is Chair of the Diverse Ability Working Network (DAWN) at Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust, an active network of allies and colleagues who live, work or care for someone with a long-term condition or disability.
The aim of the network is to provide a platform to share experiences and good practices and to examine challenges and opportunities in the workplace to create a culture where all staff feel valued, supported, understood, and treated with dignity, respect, and kindness.
In this session, she will share her experience of living and working with a disability and outline some of the things the network has done to make the workplace more inclusive for disabled people.
