Healthy Discussions project

Healthy Discussions: Supporting people with disability to make and communicate health decisions aims to improve the way that health practitioners communicate with people with disability and to improve their understanding of disability

The voice of people with lived experience of disability is at the heart of the Healthy Discussions project.

Everyone has the right to play an active role in making decisions about their own health and to receive the support they need to do so. By providing health practitioners with a set of practical communication and engagement skills, knowledge and expertise, the project aims to ensure practitioners are confident in supporting patients with disability to make informed decisions about their own health.
