@ThreshedThought Thanks for the update and the great work over the past few days. A total disgrace that you are having to do the work of South East Water’s comms team - but please keep doing it for them.

Campaign launch day: finally!

The NHS is letting millions of people down, often with devastating consequences. It’s time to deliver on the promises of the Equality Act and make the NHS accessible

Read the report, take action and join the fight for accessible healthcare.

Our latest report, with @SignHealth, reveals shocking failures in the NHS affecting over 7 million adults across the UK who are deaf or have hearing loss.

We want governments, NHS organisations, GPs and other NHS services to take action.

Today we've released our latest report about the ongoing crisis of NHS ear wax removal services.

This reveals that 8.3 million people in the UK are without access to wax removal if they need it.

It's time to #StopTheBlock and demand better ear care: https://t.co/wAp2BWUU9v

Yesterday, @DHSCgovuk and @NHSEngland set out their plan for improving elective care services in England. We want to see audiology services prioritised within the upcoming NHS 10-year plan.

Tell @RNID about your experience of using NHS services.

They want to find out how accessible NHS services are to Deaf people, from booking a GP appointment, to communicating on hospital visits.

Survey deadline extended to January for Wales participants.

Thank you to Disability Minister @StephenCTimms for speaking at our Deafness event in Parliament with - @RNID, @SignHealth @BDA_Deaf
& @NDCS_UK.

[Robert Geaney @RGeaney]

Suddenly spending a large chunk of my working life thinking about what people put in their ears (and if they would stop if they could access wax removal services in primary care) doesn’t seem so yuk.

[RNID @RNID]

Our External Affairs Manager met @PrifWeinidog Eluned Morgan, and Cabinet Secretary for @WGHealthandCare Jeremy Miles, at @WelshLabour conference. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

It was great to chat to them and other Members about RNID's priorities and see colleagues from @NDCS_Cymru & @BDA_Deaf too. 👋

[Bill Maher @billmaher]

It's amazing how an election loss, even as big as this one, still doesn't put a dent in the thinking that lost it.

Peter Rabbit on CBeebies is proper scum and a bad influence on children with his constant theft and criminal damage with no repercussions. I hope he dies every episode but I'm always disappointed. Cunt.

[RNID @RNID]

Deaf people have been left in limbo: we still don’t know if there will be a BSL interpreter when @Keir_Starmer gives his first speech.

We have one here ready and waiting – just give us the nod, Kier, and we’ll help make sure your speech is accessible for deaf people.
