Disability Discrimination Act(DDA) was passed in 1995. This legislation does not cater to education related discrimination. Though, staff employed at educational institutes comes under the remit of Discrimination act, provision and access of education for the disabled learners was not covered under the act. As a result of it, thousands of disabled students were not allowed in the educational institute and discriminated and excluded.

This issue has been noticed by the authorities and addressed via the SENDA(Special Educational Needs Disability Act) of 2001, which allows disabled learners to join the mainstream education. This marks the start of new changes in terms of recognition of  discrimination against the disabled as unlawful and not acceptable.

From August 2002, the teachers and others who are involved in providing education in schools and other high education institutes are required to ensure that  disabled students are treated equally as normal students in every aspect of education. Also, they should ensure that disability are not treated less favourably in any way and they must make steps to ensure that disabled students do not have any disadvantage of any kind against the normal students. The teachers are required to address all such circumstances
Apart from the above measures, educational institutes should provision to improve the accessibility of  environment, information and courses for disabled learners. Providers of education must regularly monitor the practices, procedures and policies to ensure compliance with the Disability Discrimination Act

The altruistic care and support provided by medical professional to not only the patient but also the family of the patient is indeed commendable. However, there has been stereotype image associated with the doctors, nurses for many years. They are associated with white medical uniforms giving them an feeling of seriousness and inflexibility to the whole surroundings and staff of a hospital. Advances in medical sciences as well as changes to nursing scrubs and uniforms has lead to changes in stereotyped images in the modern time

Medical scrubs and uniforms are available in a variety of colors and styles in the market. Now getting the right size and design to provide perfect ease and style is quite easy for the medical professional. Stores have a sufficient stock of medical uniforms, tall and large sizes in nurse scrubs, wide range of pants and jackets.

 You need to keep the type of job in mind while selecting a suitably designed medical scrub. As for example, if you have duty in the children ward, you could choose your uniform in bright colors with designs chosen from cartoon characters. This would show that you are amicable and friendly to the children who are admitted in that ward.
