#StillSickofIt

Only accessible thing is captioned news on the TV. Noticed in other waiting room, TVs are not captioned!!! Deaf people have other health issues…. 🤦‍♀️

As usual, inaccessible ENT waiting room, having to be on alert for them to “call out” my name. Relying on other people in the room for cues. The life of ENT!

Find support If you have experienced conversion practices or are affected by this story, there is help out there: Galop: 0800 999 5428 or help@galop.org.uk Switchboard: 0800 0119 100 or hello@switchboard.lgbt

Behind these numbers are real people, told their identity is wrong and that they need to be ‘cured’ or ‘fixed. We’re calling on the Government to publish the long awaited draft Bill to ban these harmful practices. Head to our website to support the campaign.

Fantastic to watch two new films from LumoTV tonight’s premiere. Both powerful in their own ways.

I really look forwards to see what LumoTV (British Sign Language Broadcasting Trust) brings in the future.

Wonder how many of us ended up with a different career than planned before university.

if you went to university
1. what was your career goal when you started?
2. your initial major?
3. if you changed majors, what did you change to?
4. what do you do now, professionally?

1. Teacher
2. Deaf studies and education
3. N/A
4. Director of comms & campaign (no way close to my degree)

Last chance to register, this is open for any deaf people with all communication preferences.

New year, new cull. Deactivated my X and Threads accounts!

We are working with UK Covid-19 Inquiry to find out more about deaf people’s experiences during the pandemic.

Please sign up for one of our sessions next month and share your story with us.

SignHealth's @lucywarnes.bsky.social and the policy and campaigns team partnered with the @bda.org.uk @ndcs-uk.bsky.social and RNID for a drop-in event today in Westminster to introduce ourselves to MPs and share the views of the deaf community

😂 it’s a re-potted tree, once Xmas is over. It will be picked up and replanted ready for next year.

I made a mistake of ordering our Xmas tree to be delivered for 11 Dec! 👀 hence the delay

So proud of SignHealth’s collective work with meeting the MPs recently. This one was from today with a colleague that I am so proud to work closely with.

No

Enough is enough, we are still sick of poor access to our healthcare

Most importantly, I love your profile banner 🧡

Together we can make a difference to the our access to healthcare.

Local newsagent couldn’t understand my request in writing for “stamps”! Do we use different word for this? #letterstampbecomingexistent

This is fantastic! Thanks for setting this up, I’m waiting for few more deaf charities to join here so I can set up one for UK deaf charities.
