Disability History Awareness Month runs from 16 November to 16 December 2023.

This is an exciting opportunity to recognise and celebrate the 1 in 5 NHS people who bring personal lived experience of disability and long-term health conditions to their careers, teams, leadership and patient care.

The event will be hosted by our award-winning Co-Chairs and supported by:  

  • Dr Farooq Ahmad, Consultant Psychiatrist and Interim Divisional Medical Director, Learning Disability Directorate, Birmingham Community Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust
