Our focus on improving healthcare access and experience for Deaf individuals has led to several impactful initiatives. By working closely with health service providers and the Deaf community, we’ve highlighted challenges and driven positive changes.

Collaborated with Healthwatch Wirral to understand and address issues Deaf people face when accessing GP services.

Healthwatch Liverpool

Medical Appointment Accessibility

Hospital Collaborations

Our Community Development team worked with Liverpool Women’s Hospital, Arrowe Park Hospital and Aintree University Hospital, supporting the organisations to share health information and improve services for Deaf people. We also took part in a consultation with Liverpool University Hospital to understand community experiences of their services.
