Deaf teenagers are having to rely on parents to help them access health services, according to a new campaign by the National Deaf Children’s Socitery.<\/p>\n

Deaf teenagers are relying on their parents to access basic information about their own health, according to a new campaign launched today [Tuesday 4 February] by the National Deaf Children\u2019s Society.<\/p>\n

The My Life, My Health campaign, was created to help get deaf teenagers the support they need when it comes to accessing GP surgeries.<\/p>\n

A lack of deaf awareness and support, results in young people missing appointments if they are unable to hear their name being called.<\/p>\n

Surgery staff and health professionals have also been found to struggle during both consultation and the booking in stages due to a lack of sign language interpreters being available.<\/p>\n

Dorset mother,\u00a0Helen Armstrong, has a 15 year old daughter who was diagnosed as deaf at 9 months old, she said: \u201cAs a mother of a deaf child the National Deaf Children\u2019s Society\u2019s findings really concern me. Until recently I have attended my daughter\u2019s GP appointments with her to ensure she understands everything that she\u2019s told. But it is so important to me that Lucy is able to become more independent as she grows up. Deaf young people must be supported and able to access health support by themselves. If they can\u2019t, they might delay seeing their GP about a serious health problem because they\u2019re embarrassed to go to an appointment with their parent.\u201d<\/p>\n

The National Deaf Children\u2019s Society and its Young People\u2019s Advisory Board have created a range of resources for parents of deaf teenagers, deaf teenagers to help them support their children and in turn help them manage their own GP appointments.<\/p>\n
