LEADING THE FIELD: TERRA PROVIDES BSL HEALTHCARE COMMUNICATION COURSES

Nowadays, many organisations offer courses for people to learn British Sign Language (BSL).  Usually, these courses take the learner through a variety of everyday situations in which a Deaf person might need communication support and these, of course, are very important.  However, it has long been recognised that more specialised courses are needed to meet some very specific needs of the Deaf community in their communication with the hearing. This is especially so in the field of healthcare and medicine.

Now, TERRA Consultancy is proud to announce that they can design and deliver a Level One course in BSL specifically for people working in the healthcare services. This course is ratified and examined by Signature.

Whilst, TERRA can actually design a tailor-made course to suit specific needs a typical course outline would include: medical terminology, medical personnel, useful directional vocabulary and more. The course could also be delivered within a variety of time frames to suit the needs of a healthcare organisation.  Delivered by a Deaf tutor this BSL healthcare course aims to equip the learner with the basic (Level 1) skills essential for a healthcare professional when dealing with the medical needs of a Deaf client.

Should your organisation (ie. hospital, health clinic etc) require us to design and deliver a BSL Level One course for your healthcare professionals – do not hesitate to contact us on:

Deaf man who has set up his own business shows how Access to Work SHOULD work

There’s been a lot of negative stories about deaf people have struggled to gain support from the government’s Access to Work scheme, so here’s a story to remind everyone how the scheme is supposed to work, and how, when it does, deaf people can benefit from it.

A deaf man from Scunthorpe has been able to set up his own website design business, thanks to Access to Work.

The Scunthorpe Telegraph has reported how Shaun Fitzgerald (27) has always found his deafness a barrier to steady employment. Being given Access to Work has allowed him to pay for an interpreter, in order to communicate with clients and take part in meetings.

Cases such as Mr. Fitzgerald’s are an inarguable example of the positive effect successful Access To Work support can provide, and the huge difference it can make to a deaf person’s career prospects, when it’s provided properly.

Mr. Fitzgerald said; “I have set up my own business providing website design and development. “The grant from Access to Work has enabled me to do this because I had restrictions in communication previously. This money has helped pay for an interpreter.

“I am so happy, and it is a relief to be working because I never had this communication support before. I could never have afforded an interpreter while setting up a business.

“It is so much easier for people that can hear, and I think it is something that is taken for granted. Deaf people can’t just pick up the phone and call someone.”

Interpreter Darren Holt said; “I don’t get involved in the business itself, but it is great to see someone doing what they want to do without the barriers there.”

Mr. Fitzgerald continued; “I am no different to anyone else, apart from my ability to communicate. I want to be an example to other deaf people that they can do exactly the same things if they have the right access to communication.”
