Deaf people struggle with poorer health
Not because we are Deaf, but because of barriers. Many services expect patients to call to make appointments, get test results or ask questions. It’s difficult to find health information in an accessible format too – there’s very little in BSL.
Find out more about your rights, what is available in BSL, and our research, as well as what you can do to make a difference.
