Material aspects of disability inequality, such as access to quality services, housing and employment, are an urgent, worldwide concern. Less recognised though, are psychological layers of prejudice and discrimination, which play a significant role in cementing marginality. Against this backdrop, health practitioners can fill influential roles in shaping the self-identity and citizenship entitlement of people with disabilities. Yet, these professionals are, like the balance of society, socialised in environments where ableism is intrinsic, invisible, and unquestioned.??????????????? |

Rural hospitals are among the most resource constrained of all our health environments. It constantly feels as if we are asked to do more with less – and to do it better! I don’t have “the answers”, or a stock of magic bullets to share out, but in this webinar I’ll share some thoughts from the 17 years I spent building a multi-disciplinary team at Zithulele Hospital in the Eastern Cape. I’ll focus on how shared values can help us maximise the outcomes for our patients, hopefully without sacrificing the health professionals, and offer some thoughts about what is and isn’t possible in the context of current scarcities.??????????????? |
