Not equal: The experiences of Deaf people accessing health and social care in Sheffield

A report, published by Healthwatch Sheffield, in partnership with Disability Sheffield and Citizens Advice Sheffield, after carrying out an investigation into the experiences of Deaf people accessing health and social care services in the city was released on 9 January 2018.

The report arises from concerns identified by Citizens Advice Sheffield, and from subsequent investigations in which we have been an active partner.  Sharon Hirshman and staff and volunteers from our Deaf Advice Team have been closely involved with this work.  The report makes important recommendations which we very much hope the local NHS will act upon.
