|
 Inadequate healthcare is received by thousands of the United Kingdom's Deaf patients because they are struggling to communicate with their healthcare providers, according to an article released on October 1, 2008 in BMJ.
The term Deaf is defined as individuals born Deaf and prefer to communicate in British Sign Language. Michael Paddock and colleagues from Kings College London School of Medicine and South West London and St George's Mental Healthcare NHS Trust comment on the general lack of awareness of Deaf issues as well as deficit in communication support for Deaf people.
