Deaf Community – Share Your Experience of Local Healthcare #SpeakUp on Local Health Services – 10 Years On
It’s been over a decade since our last major engagement with the Deaf community, when we published a joint report in partnership with the Leicester Deaf Forum and British Deaf Association in 2014. Since then, health and care services have undergone significant changes and now, more than ever, we need to understand the current challenges and opportunities for Deaf people in our area.
We want to know:
- How easy is it for you to access health services?
- What works well?
- Where are the gaps?
- What would make your experience better?
Your feedback can really make a difference. By sharing your experiences, you’ll help to improve things like communication, access and how services are delivered.
