Marce is a medical secretary at Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals Trust, and has osteoarthritis throughout her skeleton, as well as other significant disabilities. She set up the disability and wellbeing network there when she joined the Trust and found out there wasn’t one in place and describes how Covid-19 has promoted a greater connectivity amongst staff with disabilities in both welcoming new staff and responding to existing members. Marce and Kerry discuss the importance of electronic staff records in ensuring employers are aware of the needs of their staff, the importance of the WDES metrics as a push for Trusts and NHS Health organisations to publicly declare how they score on the 10 measures, and how they ensure staff are supported through reasonable adjustments under the Equality Act 2010
