Jo Massarelli and Cathy Ludlum will present the second pre-conference webinar . Their presentation is called Medical Safeguarding: Addressing vulnerability in medical settings.
It seems at odds to think that safeguarding is necessary in healthcare settings such as hospitals. After all, all medical settings, especially hospitals, are places filled with talented health professionals whose edict is to do no harm. Yet the experience of many people with disability (and other marginalised groups, including the elderly and people with poor mental health) is that whenever they are hospitalised, they are exposed to grave dangers that jeopardise their health and safety.
In this powerful session, Jo Massarelli and Cathy Ludlum will explore what needs to be done to safeguard vulnerable people in a healthcare setting. From the perspective of an advocate and a person who manages her own practical care, they will offer practical information about how to ensure good outcomes during hospital stays.

Please note that there is flexible pricing available for people with disability and their families.
