The two-day conference will again be taking place at the NEC, Birmingham, on Sunday 13 – Monday 14 October. The conference offers a great opportunity for community and primary care pharmacists across the UK to come together, network, and get involved.
The PDA will be running two sessions this year:
Standing Up for Sitting Down
Business Theatre, Sunday 13 October, 10.20 am – 10.50 am
In this session, PDA Organiser, Liz Larkin will be giving an overview of the ‘Standing Up for Sitting Down’ campaign, revealing shocking results from a recent survey and highlighting some of the good practices in the profession. The campaign was created by the PDA Ability Network following a survey that found that many pharmacists were not being provided with the reasonable adjustments that they required. The campaign aims to raise awareness of disability discrimination and calls on employers to make appropriate and ongoing reasonable adjustments. The session will be supported by members of the PDA Ability Network.
Learning outcomes:
- Learn about the discrimination that disabled pharmacists may face in the workplace
- Develop an understanding of the campaign, its importance, and how to get involved.
Confirmed speaker for this session:
- Liz Larkin, PDA Organiser
