The idea
Disability is one of the characteristics linked to health disparities, so care must adapt to each patient's needs.
In practice
Ask patients what help they need for moving, communicating or understanding, rather than assuming, and adapt the visit to their answer.
Where people slip
Record the help the patient needs, so every team member can provide it at the next visit.
