Episode 4: Barriers to health in the deaf community with Rebecca Lennox
Description
Rebecca Lennox is a second year nursing student at John Moores University and alumni of the #150 Leaders Student Programme. Believing there was a huge gap in the care and treatment of people from the Deaf community, Rebecca and her colleague introduced British Sign Language classes for university staff and students, enlisting the help of a charity called Deaf Active. Demand for places were so high that now Rebecca is pushing for Sign Language classes to be on the curriculum for all nursing students. In this episode, she talks more about her campaign and the importance of learning British Sign Language. We also discuss the relationship between medical students and nurses and how we can encourage greater collaboration between the two fields.
