Hi all, 

I have seen signs for Doctor, Nurse, Dentist, Ambulance, etc. but can't seem to find a definitive sign for Paramedic. I don't mind finger spelling to clarify my job, but it's a long word to spell and wonder if there's a more concise sign. 

Thanks!

Hi there,

would the sign for ambulance (sirene) and then nurse (cross on outer aspect of non-dominant arm) not cover it? I know a paramedic is not just an 'ambulance nurse', but maybe it covers the meaning sufficiently? I'm a learner, so please don't take my word for gospel...

Best wishes,

Marijn

Hey,

A different take on the word.

According to google a Pandemic means "(of a disease) prevalent over a whole country or the world."

So my guess would be Virus + World and since I guess your talking about the coronavirus I would add Corona + Virus + World

Same I'm a learner too, just my thought.....

(Sign for Coronavirus taken from BBC- Dave the dog is worried about Coronavirus)

      Learning a valuable language

      By AngeVee · Posted

      I'm not deaf or hard of hearing, but I'm a secondary school teacher with a number of children with varying hearing difficulties, and a father who wears hearing aids. I figure that as well as being fascinating to learn (I love learning new things), it's a skill that could be really beneficial to me too.

      Hi Martin You are not alone! Have you had any signing experience before? If not, have you found BSL to have helped you communicate? Wen
