Online Case Study Resource
This is an online case study resource funded by The Higher Education Academy and is aimed at healthcare students with disabilities. One of its developers is Dr Shea Palmer in HSC.
It says that it “has been developed for students and staff to share their experiences of what has been helpful (and unhelpful) in enabling students to train as allied health professionals, midwives and nurses. These real-life narrative reports share practical examples of how to enhance the accessibility of healthcare education.”
It is a really useful resource and should be by as many students as possible as the more that share their experiences then the more comprehensive and useful it becomes.
