With an increasing number of doctors disclosing dyslexia at medical school, how can educators best provide this support? Our research looks at the impact of dyslexia on clinical practice and the coping strategies used by doctors to minimise the effect.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n \n Qualitative data were collected from 14 doctors with dyslexia using semi\u2010structured interviews and by survey. \u2019\n In situ<\/jats:italic>\n \u2019 demonstration interviews were conducted in order to understand how dyslexia is managed in the workplace from first\u2010hand experience. Employers and educators who have responsibility for meeting the needs of this group were also consulted.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n Even in cases of doctors who had a diagnosis, they often did not disclose their dyslexia to their employer. Study participants reported having developed individual ways of coping and devised useful \u2019workarounds\u2019. Support from employers comes in the form of \u2019reasonable adjustments\u2019, although from our data we cannot be sure that such adjustments contribute to an \u2019enabling\u2019 work environment. Supportive characteristics included the opportunity to shadow others and the time and space to complete paperwork on a busy ward.<\/jats:p>\n \n \n How can educators best provide support [for doctors with dyslexia]?<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:disp-quote>\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Discussion<\/jats:title>\n Doctors with dyslexia need to be helped to feel comfortable enough to disclose. Educators need to challenge any negative assumptions that exist as well as promote understanding about the elements that contribute to a positive working environment. As a result of the research there is now practice available for educators to identify evidence\u2010based strategies and resources.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/tct.12578","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,10,12]],"date-time":"2016-10-12T22:32:07Z","timestamp":1476311527000},"page":"355-359","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Doctors with dyslexia: strategies and support"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Rachel","family":"Locke","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Education Health and Social Care the University of Winchester Hampshire UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gail","family":"Alexander","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Professional Support Unit Health Education Wessex Otterbourne Hampshire UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Richard","family":"Mann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Professional Support Unit Health Education Wessex Otterbourne Hampshire UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sharon","family":"Kibble","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Education Health and Social Care the University of Winchester Hampshire UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Samantha","family":"Scallan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Education Health and Social Care the University of Winchester Hampshire UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,10,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","unstructured":"British Medical Association Equality and Diversity in UK Medical Schools:London;British Medical Association.2009."},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.12968\/hmed.2012.73.6.345"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/tct.12331"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/09620210100200078"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_1","unstructured":"The Equality Act 2010.
