The Employee Disability and Neurodivergent Advisory service (EDNA) is a service that provides advocacy and signposting for NHS and Primary Care staff in Hampshire and Isle of Wight who have a disability, long term condition, and/ or neurodivergence.
Our overall aim is to support colleagues thrive in the workplace, working with the individual to identify areas where support is required including recommending appropriate reasonable adjustments.
EDNA service is a self-referral service. You do not need a medical referral or formal diagnosis to access our service.
You will be offered a one-to-one consultation with one of our Disability and Neurodivergent Advisors; a safe and confidential space to talk. Following this, you will receive a detailed letter outlining what has been discussed, which will include recommendations for reasonable adjustments which can be shared with your line manager at your discretion.
