"Raising Awareness of Disability Discrimination Amongst Health Professionals"

With Dr. Andy Tyerman

📅 Date: 13th October| 🕒 Time: 12pm - 1pm| 📍 Online | 🎟️ Reserve Your Spot Now!

💥 90% of Health Professionals Are Getting This Wrong

A ground breaking pilot study of 100 health professionals reveals a harsh reality: only 11% scored above the awareness threshold on disability discrimination. The majority — experienced, well-intentioned clinicians — scored 50% or less.

It’s not about bad intentions. It’s about lack of awareness — and the real risk of inadvertently discriminating against disabled patients.

🎙️ Meet Your Speaker

Dr. Andy Tyerman, Honorary Consultant Clinical Neuropsychologist, is a pioneer in brain injury rehabilitation with over 40 years of experience. In retirement, Andy has turned his expertise toward a mission of justice and equity — creating the Disability Discrimination Awareness Questionnaire (DDAQ) and other resources now changing the landscape of clinical practice.
