The Reasonable Adjustment Digital Flag team at NHS England are looking for some people with lived experience to help create resources, in different formats, review and develop new case studies and be involved with the National communications cascade.

Supporting with this work is paid at £75 for half a day’s work and £150 for a full day. If you are interested or would like more information, then please email: england.radfproject@nhs.net.

The reasonable adjustment digital flag is a new flagging system that will work across different services including GPs, hospitals, dentists, specialist nursing and social work. It means staff will be able to see the reasonable adjustments people need as soon as they pull up a patient record.

The Reasonable Adjustment Flag is a national record that shows a person needs accommodations and may include details about their impairments and necessary adjustments.

The flag sits within the national learning disability and autism programme, but the flag is not just for this group. They need more representation from people particularly with the following different experiences:

Cancer
Dementia
Physical disabilities
Neurological disorders including Cerebral palsy
Profound and multiple learning disability
Children and young people with a disability
Long stay hospitals
Hearing impairment
Ethnicity

If you are someone who has lived experience of one or more of these and can represent the views of others with that experience, please do get in contact via england.radfproject@nhs.net by the 15th of September.
