Paul James: The reasonable adjustments digital flag is going to make a massive difference to anyone with a learning disability, to people who are autistic or any disability when attending any healthcare appointments to meet their reasonable adjustments.
Reasonable adjustments can be things such as a large font for people with a visual impairment, for those that are wanting to wait in a quiet room and for longer appointments.
And that’s just some of the things that reasonable adjustment can and should be.
Like anyone, I may need to see a different range of health and social care professionals, so having my reasonable adjustments recorded means I don’t need to re-explain my reasonable adjustments each time.
I’m in control of what information is recorded on my reasonable adjustments digital flag.
It’s also important that professionals that work with me understand how the flag works and how it can help.
