Healthy Conversations: Evaluating the effectiveness of a new interprofessional curriculum to improve collaborative communication between health professionals and people with disability

This project explores the impact of the Healthy Discussions curriculum from the Office of the Public Advocate. Through a series of interviews and consultations, the team is looking at how this new curriculum has improved the way that health professionals communicate with people with disability and whether it has improved health professionals understanding of disability. Knowledge gained from the project will refine the pilot curriculum to maximise its impact, with an aim to embed the curriculum into programs across the eleven disciplines within MDHS.
