Default Re: I need help on what to do about my pre-reg

Hi Jeff,
Long time no speak!
1) I found a great study by RCN - http://www.suht.nhs.uk/ideal/media/p...d_practice.pdf

2) I also consuted legal position - The Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) : Directgov - Disabled peopleAn introduction to your rights under the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA)
Disability rights : Directgov - Disabled people

..... and a support organisation - The British Dyslexia Association - Home - which is very enlightening especially for those not in teaching who don't know much about the condition or those who think it's how middle class parents label thick kids!

3) Conditions for students on placements - HCP-disability: Healthcare professionals with dyslexia

4) What the society says - http://www.rpsgb.org.uk/pdfs/educpri...nsanalysis.pdf

5) What was in the PJ - The Pharmaceutical Journal
Vol 275 No 7367 p339-340
17 September 2005

What reasonable adjustments are made in the workplace are entirely up to the employer - but certain recommended working practices can be seen to benefit everyone. Like Boots having two checks?
Hope this helps - by the way - a pharmacist who left my daughter's place recently was also dyslexic and not many knew she was - you don't have to disclose - but you can't really avoid it if you want to apply for exam concessions. The PDA did tell her not to say owt - not yet sure why - reasons may emerge shortly?
