Doctor’s waiting rooms.
I have been working with Deaf people from across Greater Manchester using video as a way of telling their stories and getting their stories online.
You can find examples of videos created as part of these initial sessions on the Video section of the Manchester Deaf Gateway website.
Video is an ideal medium as many Deaf people’s first language is BSL (British Sign Language) a visual form of communication.
Following up the initial sessions, in April/ May 2006 I did some follow up work with Trafford Deaf Community Network. In these sessions the focus was on dealing with an issue/ topic.
In this video the topic is the problem faced by deaf people in doctor’s waiting rooms and the video offers a simple yet effective solution (one already employed by some doctors and health centres across the region).
Alternatively you can watch the video in MP4 format below.
