Automaticity, dysfunctional organisation and the dyslexic profile: issues connected with nursing practice, and the professional’s dilemma
Automaticity, dysfunctional organisation and the dyslexic profile: issues connected with nursing practice, and the professional’s dilemma
Dyslexia is often considered as affecting student abilities with course work. However the education of nurses involves not only academic study but also the requirements to develop appropriate nursing practice skills. This paper will explore ethical issues and the impact the dyslexic profile have upon nursing practice. The key issues that will be examined include: Ethical Issues The protection of the public The demands of professional regulation Disclosure of disability - the tripartite between the student, the academic tutor and the clinical setting Dichotomy of the Disability Discrimination Act and the Code of Professional Conduct Tensions between the organisational structures and the demands of emergency procedures Dyslexic Profile and Nursing Practice Automaticity Working memory capacity Literacy challenges for nurses with dyslexia Dysfunctional organisation Compensatory strategies - the dilemma between reasonable adjustments and practice reality The aim of this paper is to raise awareness of the impact that having dyslexia may have upon an individual's ability to acquire professional qualifications. Whilst the issues explored will focus on nursing practice there are implications for other professional education providers.

Abstract
Dyslexia is often considered as affecting student abilities with course work. However the education of nurses involves not only academic study but also the requirements to develop appropriate nursing practice skills. This paper will explore ethical issues and the impact the dyslexic profile have upon nursing practice. The key issues that will be examined include: Ethical Issues The protection of the public The demands of professional regulation Disclosure of disability - the tripartite between the student, the academic tutor and the clinical setting Dichotomy of the Disability Discrimination Act and the Code of Professional Conduct Tensions between the organisational structures and the demands of emergency procedures Dyslexic Profile and Nursing Practice Automaticity Working memory capacity Literacy challenges for nurses with dyslexia Dysfunctional organisation Compensatory strategies - the dilemma between reasonable adjustments and practice reality The aim of this paper is to raise awareness of the impact that having dyslexia may have upon an individual's ability to acquire professional qualifications. Whilst the issues explored will focus on nursing practice there are implications for other professional education providers.
