In July Signing Solutions held an event at the Liner Hotel in Liverpool, which some members of Southport Deaf Centre went to.
The event was attended by health professionals and members of the D/deaf community from across the Cheshire and Merseyside region. The aim of the event was to provide an opportunity to discuss the barriers that both sides face and put forward suggestions to improve the experience for both patients and staff.
The feedback from this event has been collated into a report, which has been shared with the senior leadership team at the Cheshire & Merseyside Integrated Care Board.
