VIDEO [BSL] - 'Deaf Lounge' A new night club for Deaf people in Tottenham, U.K.
TOTTENHAM - Fun Side of being Deaf... London is well known for its lively night life. But for Deaf people, it can often be hard to find a venue, where they feel comfortable and are able to communicate. Now all of that is changing, with a new venue dedicated to their specific needs. Although they play music here at the "Deaf Lounge," in the Tottenham district of London.
Deaf Lounge was set up for the deaf and hearing community, to socialise, meet and group here, to make new friends with no barriers. By three friends BSL (British Sign Language) Paul Cripps (has been Deaf all of his life), Domani Peiris and Ryan Groves. SOURCE

Clubbers Really Feel The Beat At The 'Deaf Lounge'
VIDEO - A bar for Deaf people has opened in London, UK! Clubbers really feel the beat at the 'Deaf Lounge'
LONDON - This is a night club with a difference. Although they play music here at the "Deaf Lounge," in the Tottenham district of London, not everyone can hear it. Some of those making shapes on the dance floor are feeling the beat purely through vibrations. This is thought to be the first club of its kind in the British capital for Deaf people.
The bar staff are Deaf and can sign, there is a Deaf security guard, a hard of hearing DJ, there are bright lights at the bar with pens & paper, the fire alarm has a flashing light, the signs are in BSL & English.

Deaf Patient Denied Interpreter By Scottish Hospital
Deaf patient left unable to communicate with hospital staff for 12 days after staff failed to provide sign language expert.
DUNDEE - A Deaf patient was left isolated and unable to communicate for 12 days in Ninewells Hospital because of a failure to provide her with access to a sign language interpreter, according to a report by Scotland’s public services watchdog.
The female patient who had been admitted to Dundee’s Ninewells Hospital for surgery to have her appendix removed had a very limited lip reading ability and did not have a good understanding of written English.
And it was “impossible to say” with any certainty whether the deaf patient had given informed consent for the surgery,
Jim Martin, the Scottish public services ombudsman, has ruled that NHS Tayside failed to adhere to the board’s informed consent policy and found that the failure to obtain a sign language interpreter for the patient was “unacceptable”.
He states in his report that a complaint had been raised on behalf of the patient, known as Ms A, that the board failed to provide a British Sign Language (BSL) interpreter during her 12-day stay at Ninewells where she had been admitted for surgery to remove her appendix.
Ms A was a BSL user with very limited lip-reading ability. She did not use verbal communication and did not have a good understanding of written English.
Mr Martin states: “Although hospital staff took steps to try to communicate with Ms A, at no point did they provide an interpreter. This was despite Ms A repeatedly pointing to a poster on the wall, which was for interpreter services, and handing staff a BSL interpreter’s card on two separate occasions.”
He continues: “In the course of my investigation I took independent advice from my equality and diversity adviser and a medical adviser. The equality adviser said that staff had not taken reasonable and appropriate steps to obtain a BSL interpreter for Ms A in line with their legal duty to do so under section 20 of the Equality Act 2010. She said that once they had been alerted to Ms A’s need for a BSL interpreter, a clear plan should have been drawn up to try to coordinate the availability of doctors and others communicating with Ms A and a BSL interpreter, sufficiently trained to be able to communicate complex medical issues.” ...READ MORE: http://www.scotsman.com/news/health/deaf-patient-denied-interpreter-by-dundee-hospital-1-2862772
