Raising awareness among health professionals of the experience and communication needs of deaf and hard of hearing patients in care
Conference in French
Deaf and hard of hearing people face many difficulties in communicating with carers and increase their barriers to care. Raising awareness among carers of the experiences and communication needs of these populations is a possible lever to reduce these difficulties and improve access to care.
Date: Thursday 26 January 2023
Time: 5.30 pm – 7 pm
Place: Auditorium B232-233, HETSL, Chemin des Abeilles 14, 1010 Lausanne or online
