All RCN Birmingham East, North and Solihull members are encouraged to attend their Annual General Meeting, which is being held online via Microsoft Teams. The meeting will also incorporate a learning event exploring autism awareness.
Autism awareness
If you have ever worked with an autistic person and wondered how to better support that person, welcome! If you have ever felt daunted about how best to support autistic people within health care environments, welcome! If you are autistic and would like to support those who are ‘neurotypical’ within health care environments, welcome!
Presented by Christopher Barber, author of 'Autism and Asperger's Condition: A practical guide for nurses', 'Learning disabilities: A non- specialist introduction for nursing, health and social care', and 'Autism in Nursing and Healthcare', this session will focus on a range of issues pertinent to supporting a person with autism within a number of health care environments.
