What 'Reasonable Adjustments' Should Hospitals Make for Disabled People?

The University of Bristol is doing some research about the changes hospitals should make so disabled people can use them more easily. These are called ‘reasonable adjustments’ to their services so that disabled people are not disadvantaged when accessing healthcare. Examples of reasonable adjustments include: providing a ramp entrance, a loop hearing system, or longer appointment times, as well as sending letters in easy-read format or large print.

This research wants to find out what works well in some hospitals so other hospitals can be helped to do things better.

Stuart and Victoria at the University of Bristol are doing this research, and would like to talk to disabled people .They would like to know how hospital services have provided reasonable adjustments to meet your needs, as well as learning about what has worked well, and what could have been better.

The interview will take about an hour about an experience you have had in hospital in the last two years. All disabled people who take part in this interview will be offered a £20 gift voucher.

If you have any questions or you would like to help, you can phone Stuart or Victoria on: 0117 331 0471

Disability Sheffield is a forward-thinking, energetic organisation doing a lot of positive work in Sheffield. I have no doubt they will continue to do so for a long time to come.

When I moved to Sheffield nearly five years ago it was my "go to" organisation. I expect it to stay that way. All the staff and volunteers seem to pull out little gems of effort that disabled people like me couldn't do without. Professionally and personally - I love em :)
