1 light bulb + lived experience = better diabetes health for people with disability

Jayne Lehmann (RN and CDE) and Kirrily Chambers (Pharmacist and CDE) explore the inaccessibility of health services and how it contributes to the 20 - 32 year shorter life expectancy of people with intellectual disability, like Jayne's daughter, Sarah. Hear about the light bulb moment Kirrily gave Jayne when she was packing Sarah's Webster Packs after Sarah left home ... You will be shocked, and just a little amazed, by the insights P1 and P2 reveal during their chat, that includes statistics from the Pharmaceutical Society of Australia's report on Medicine Safety: Disability Care. Jayne puts her 'skin in the game' to good use to inspire health professionals across Australia to use her inside tips on communicating with people with communication challenges. As promised during the podcast, Jayne created a new resource for health services to download and use to talk to people with intellectual disability you see in your health services. After you listen to the episode, go on over to EdHealth Australia's website (www.edhealth.com.au/P2DiabetesChat) for the Extra Bits to help you deliver better health care for people with an intellectual disability to live longer and healthier lives. N.B.
