We have enjoyed working with the Department of Health
|
|
SignTranslate and SignHealth have provided advice and recommendations to the Department of Health's National GP Access Improvement Programme. The programme aims to improve access, communication and responsiveness of GP Surgeries. An output from the programme has been the NHS Practice Management Network. The network's publication, "Improving Access, Responding To Patients: A 'How-To' Guide for GP Practices" recommends SignTranslate in the section on Improving Access for Hearing Impaired people. |
We are delighted to be working with the following organisations.
EMIS is the UK's leading supplier of IT systems to GPs
EMIS is the UK's leading supplier of IT systems to GPs, providing the software that holds the medical records for 39 million NHS patients nationwide. Around 56 per cent of GPs in the UK currently use EMIS software.
The company has a 20-year history of innovation within the primary care market. Founded by GPs Dr Peter Sowerby and Dr David Stables, its guiding ethos is that the software used by GP surgeries should be "written by doctors, for doctors".
SignTranslate, in collaboration with EMIS, will ensure all surgeries and GPs have access to the SignTranslate phrasebook and its On-Line Interpreting capability. A simple link from the EMIS desktop will make this revolutionary communication tool available at the click of a mouse.
Esmee Fairbairn Foundation is one of the largest independent grant-making foundations in the UK
Its aim is to improve the quality of life throughout the UK by funding the charitable activities of organisations that have the ideas and ability to achieve change for the better. It takes pride in supporting work that might otherwise be considered difficult to fund.
The foundation's primary interests are in the UK's cultural life, education, the natural environment and enabling people who are disadvantaged to participate more fully in society.
Esmee Fairbairn Foundation provided SignTranslate with grant funding for a feasibility study into the communications needs of the Deaf Community in both private and public sectors. More recently, it has provided additional support for the development of SignTranslate's Hospital application.
