Session summary:
Following our parallel session at DEMEC 2019, HEE Midlands has developed a process for supporting trainees with a disability aligned to the  GMC’s ‘Welcomed and valued’ publication.  This has been achieved by working closely with our trainees with a disability, trainers, specialist OH services and employers across East Midlands.
