watching @BBCnews this morning and there's a woman talking about how the NHS is not accessible for deaf people and there is an over-reliance on services using telephone calls as a way of conveying information and data (1)

BBC Breakfast great to see the healthcare barriers for deaf people highlighted this morning. Very common and so many horror stories.

Yay! Something to celebrate! Deaf people can access 111 in British Sign Language through SignVideo by Sorenson and finally get access to mental health crisis lines that have been inaccessible for so long!! signvideo.co.uk/nhs111/
