It Makes Sense Campaign

Each year the NHS in Wales runs a campaign to raise awareness of the different communication and information needs of the 600,000 people in Wales living with some form of sensory loss (deaf or hard of hearing and/or sight loss).  The Campaign is called ‘It Makes Sense’. 

Campaign’s Key Messages for all NHS Wales Staff:   

• FIND OUT from the Sensory Loss e-learning module the most effective ways to communicate with patients who are deaf or hard of hearing, are blind or have sight loss or have other communication needs. 
• ASK patients how they would like to communicate with you. 
• OFFER to give the information in the format they need, including British Sign Language, large print, electronic  or Braille. 

We’d like to encourage all NHS Wales staff to support the Campaign.  

The e-learning module called ‘NHS Wales - Sensory Loss’ can be viewed via ESR accounts.
