Neurodiversity - Inclusivity in the Workplace
Suitable for:
This course is suitable for all members of the practice team.
Please note that our courses are designed specifically with General Practice staff in mind and are delivered by facilitators who have experience in this area. While the Personal and Team Resilience courses may be relevant to other healthcare sectors, they do include examples from General Practice. Our Systems Resilience courses are generally not suitable for those working outside General Practice. If you’re unsure about whether this course is right for you, please contact us before booking.
Course summary:
A unique insight into how gaining a real understanding of neurodiversity can benefit the whole of the workforce. You will learn about differences in the context of neurodiversity and think about strengths and challenges people have. Hopefully you will be inspired to think about how your workplace can be more neuro-inclusive.
Lucy Clement is a GP in Leeds who has been on her own personal discovery since realising she is neurodivergent. Lucy has confirmed diagnoses of ADHD, dyslexia and autism. She is passionate about raising awareness around neurodiversity and helping practices understand neurodivergent people, from both a strengths and challenges perspective.
Danielle Hann is a GP in Bradford, who has become more and more interested in neurodiversity, especially within the general practice workforce, and how we can all support teams with a more inclusive culture.
