This study focuses on how medical, dental and veterinary schools differ in the information offered on their websites for potential applicants with disabilities. This includes an assessment of the relevant requirements of the registration or professional bodies and how clearly these are transmitted. If more people with disabilities are to enter medicine, dentistry or veterinary medicine, these ‘portals to the professions’ (the websites) should encourage them to investigate their possibilities of doing so.

Outlines the key findings of the second wave of qualitative research with employers regarding the New Deal for Disabled People (NDDP). It was part of a comprehensive research and evaluation programme into NDDP, commissioned by the Department for Work and Pensions and being carried out by a research consortium, using a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods. This second wave of qualitative research with employers was carried out when NDDP had been operating nationally for two years. It follows on from the first wave, which was carried out 18 months previously, and is based on in-depth interviews with 50 employers, all of whom were known to have taken part in NDDP. These employers were selected on the basis that they were nominated by Job Brokers as examples of good practice. In addition, the research design ensured that the employers covered a range of geographical locations, employer types in terms of size, sector, etc., and types of Job Broker.
