Fantastic to watch two new films from LumoTV tonight’s premiere. Both powerful in their own ways.
I really look forwards to see what LumoTV (British Sign Language Broadcasting Trust) brings in the future.

So proud of SignHealth’s collective work with meeting the MPs recently. This one was from today with a colleague that I am so proud to work closely with.
Today, SignHealth's Robin Ash met with
@laylamoran.bsky.social MP, Chair of the Health and Social Care Committee. This was a great opportunity to discuss the importance of lived experience and including deaf people in political decision-making.

Enough is enough, we are still sick of poor access to our healthcare
Yesterday we were in Westminster with @rnib.bsky.social and other charities to hand in letters to the Health Secretary Wes Streeting.
We are asking him to meet with us to discuss how to make healthcare accessible for deaf people.
