Working with qualified and appropriately skilled interpreters is a core skill needed by all NHS staff. We are thankful for the highly skilled support we receive from Nottingham Deaf Society’s interpreting team. #DisabilityHistoryMonth #nottsdeafsociety

Sometimes it’s the simple things. By wearing the rainbow ribbon and pronoun pin, people know we are safe to speak to about their individual identity, without fear of judgement, recrimination or abuse. #pridenhs #LGBTQ+ ally

We are excited to announce that our team member Tarnia has been shortlisted in the Student Nursing Times Awards 2021. This is a great opportunity to promote the Deaf community and its un-met needs in mental health and communication barriers in society. #SNTA @NursingTimes

@Dermatologydame I’m not sure. These were part of the 250,000 that the government purchased from America, which was never going to be enough since they are single use.

[Nottsdeafnurses @nottsdeafnurses]

We are very pleased to have the clear face masks, so communication is clear and appropriate

[Nottsdeafnurses @nottsdeafnurses]

@Dermatologydame Yes. These have been tested to ensure they meet the strict requirements for clinical settings, which is why they have taken so long. This will make our work with Deaf people so much better.

“Don’t talk of ‘going to sleep’ or ‘going to heaven’ be clear, honest and gentle.If you speak about ‘going to sleep’ a person will be frightened of going to bed.”

Baroness Ilora Finlay talks about the importance of avoiding euphemisms when speaking about dying.
