SignTranslate features in NHS Local video
SignTranslate was filmed by NHS Local recently at the "Out of the Box" conference. The event, organised by the Patient Opinion website, and held at the Deaf Cultural Centre in Birmingham, asked "How are patients, service users and carers using the web to change their lives?"
Dr Dawn Harper from TV's "Embarrassing Bodies" presents a short film of the day's events for NHS Local which features "a clever solution to help deaf people communicate with their GP": SignTranslate!
See the film at: http://nhslocal.nhs.uk/node/1552 SignTranslate appears from 3m 45s to 5m 00s
The conference was titled "Out of the Box" to reflect the goal of encouraging people to share ideas on how to use the web to connect, encourage and inspire people as opposed putting people with a condition "in a box" unconnected to others.
