Abstract

This chapter explores some key ideas and approaches to working with people with a disability within a healthcare or health and social care setting. It uses Thompson’s PCS analysis model as a framework exploring ideas, attitudes, beliefs and definitions around disability across the three levels of Personal, Cultural and Structural. This is with the aim of getting you to explore your own thoughts and beliefs as well as consider those of your colleagues, family and friends and perhaps most importantly, your service users and the people around them, when it comes to ideas and realities of disability currently within the UK.
