SUMMARY:Deaf Inclusion in Health and Social Care: What Practitioners Need to Know
DESCRIPTION:On 18 April 2026\, the Deaf Health Wales (DHW) project will be hosting a Mini Deaf Gathering event at Pontio. This is a daylong deaf arts and culture event. Details can be found here. \nAs part of that event our project will be presenting a seminar\, ‘Deaf Inclusion in Health and Social Care: What Practitioners Need to Know’\, which has been specifically designed for hearing health care professionals\, practitioners\, students and stakeholders to help them to better understand Deaf culture and barriers to accessing services and to show how they can make their services accessible and inclusive. \nThe session will be led by two deaf DHW co-investigators and experts in the field\, Dr Sara Rhys-Jones and Mr Paul Redfern (full biographies below).  It will provide an opportunity for attendees to learn about the deaf community and how to make Wales a fairer and inclusive country. \nTopics to be covered will include but are not limited to: \n\nAn introduction and explanation of what British Sign Language (BSL)  is and is not\, and Deaf culture with respect to identity\, language and community\nStatistics on mental health and physical health of deaf communities in Wales\nBarriers in healthcare and social care services for deaf patients\nExplaining and understanding consent and GDPR with deaf patients\nUnderstanding what equality means for deaf BSL signers\nThe importance of working with and not for deaf communities.\n\nThere will also be an open Q&A session where Dr Rhys-Jones and  Mr Redfern will endeavour to answer any and all questions that the audience may have regarding deaf healthcare and well-being. \nThis is a unique opportunity to learn from deaf experts.  BSL–English interpretation will be provided\, and the event is free and open to all hearing health care professionals\, practitioners\, students and stakeholders.  We do\, however\, ask you to register here so we can plan accordingly. \nIf you have any questions\, please email us at deafhealth@bangor.ac.uk. \nHope to see you there!  \nBios \nDr Sara Rhys‑Jones is a deaf BSL‑signing Principal Clinical Psychologist for Swansea Bay University Health Board. She has a PhD on deaf linguistic‑identity theory and impression formation in BSL.  More information here. \nMr Paul Redfern is a deaf BSL signing researcher with decades of experience in deaf community development\, public sector engagement and organisational leadership.
