Students from Runshaw’s Medical Society have successfully completed a four-week British Sign Language (BSL) course delivered in partnership with Deaf Forward.
The initiative aimed to equip future healthcare professionals with essential communication skills to support deaf and hard-of-hearing patients.
The interactive sessions focused on fingerspelling, everyday phrases, and medical terminology, enabling students to build confidence in using BSL in real-life settings. Participants praised the course for raising awareness of Deaf culture and promoting inclusivity in healthcare.
Medical Society is for any student wishing to pursue a career in Medicine, Vet Science or Dentistry. Competition for University places on these courses is high, but thanks to our sector leading programme, devised in collaboration with the NHS and Universities, it is a superb way to begin a Medical, Dental and Veterinary career.
