Powerful stuff indeed, Reunion on BBC Iplayer is a terrific watch. Really captures the isolation faced by deaf people in many aspects of life. So interesting to see how nuanced BSL can be. The “making of” was a good feature too. #StillSickofIt
Reunion, the new drama from the BBC, highlights the deaf barriers we are working to break.

We appreciated the British Sign Language Week debate in Westminster yesterday. View - parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/28fdec4a-1b...

Good to see barriers to health access also raised by Sir Stephen Timms, Disability Minister, and @mattvickers.bsky.social.

So frustrating. Poor process = a poor quality hospital appointment, which puts deaf patients at risk!
#StillSickOfIt #WhereIsOurAccess #SignLanguageWeek
Ironically seeing this in Sign Language Week, the same week I had an inaccessible hospital appointment because my GP's request for a BSL appt in the referral didn't get processed properly.
Thank you MP @thurrockjen.bsky.social for highlighting the work of SignHealth and the barriers for deaf people accessing GP appointments in today's British Sign Language Week debate in Westminster.
