Access to health services for disabled people
This seminar will include two presentations on different aspects of access to health for disabled people:
Dr Dikaios Sakellariou: Experiences of access to cancer services for disabled people. Using data from an interview-based study in England and Wales, this talk will foreground what happens when people with physical impairments seek to access cancer services.
Professor Tom Shakespeare: Access to health services for disabled people. This talk will draw on Professor Shakespeare’s research on inequalities in health for people with intellectual disability and on educating health professionals about disability.
