概要

 In this powerful episode, we are joined by Claire Adshead, Macmillan Deaf Cancer Support Project Manager, and Gillian Briden, who shares her deeply personal - and at times challenging - experiences of accessing cancer care as a deaf person. Gillian’s experience offers vital insight for health and care professionals and highlights the urgent need for accessible communication and culturally aware support.

Claire shares how the Deaf Cancer Support project is working to improve access, communication and tailored care for Deaf individuals. Together, we explore the systemic challenges faced by Deaf people, from the availability of qualified British Sign Language (BSL) interpreters to the importance of health care services designed with Deaf people in mind. This episode is available in both spoken English and British Sign Language (BSL).

Note: Claire and Gillian communicate in British Sign Language (BSL). Their responses are voiced by a professional BSL interpreter. All dialogue attributed to the guests represents the interpreter’s spoken interpretation of their signed responses.

Content warning: This episode contains conversations about lived experience of cancer which you may find upsetting or triggering. Listener discretion is advised.
