BackgroundAn increase in the number of medical students disclosing dyslexia as a specific learning difficulty on entering medical school is leading to an increasing number of doctors disclosing dyslexia in the workplace. The degree to which dyslexia has an impact on workplace performance depends on the individual doctor’s level of self-awareness and skill in developing supportive strategies or ‘workarounds’. There is little research on experiences and such strategies in the context of medical education and engaging in research poses challenges.AimResearch was conducted to identify effective workarounds and how they help to minimise the effects of dyslexia for doctors.MethodData was collected in stages: a systematic review, FOI requests and primary data collection. Fourteen doctors took part in the primary data collection through interviews and surveys. Five key informants with knowledge about the support available participated in semi-structured interviews.ResultsAlthough most participants had experienced difficulties they had found individualised ways of coping to overcome the challenge presented by dyslexia. The main ones were to assist with revision and exams, writing and spelling, reading, memory, time management and organisation.ConclusionThe ability to develop such personal strategies can be seen as a positive attribute of dyslexia: ‘The dyslexic learns to adapt and cope and create systems for themselves to get by’ (interviewee).
