hi, my name is Corinne and I live on the Isle of Wight. I’m 32 and a mother to two children who are 11 and 9. I’ve worked for the NHS for over 12 years now and have done various different job roles. Currently I am a phlebotomist so I’m responsible for obtaining and sending blood samples off for patients. I work in a clinic and also on the hospital wards and meet a wide variety of people on a daily basis, communication isn’t always easy for some patients for various reasons and there isn’t always somebody that is accessible at that moment or nearby to assist with communications. I’ve said to myself for many years I’d love to learn British sign language but I’ve never actually done anything about it. And now I finally have and I’m really enjoying learning all about it, I’m amazed at some of the new information I’ve taken in And already I now understand so much more that I can see being such an asset to my work life and also life in the community. Thank you for taking the time to read my introduction, take care :)

      Why I’m learning BSL! :)

      By Emmiebun · Posted

      Hi! I’m Emily, I was a CoDa (child of deaf adult) between ages of 5 and 12 as we used BSL at home to communicate with my stepdad who was deaf.    I recently watched a show with a deaf actress in who used ASL and it reminded me that I know quite a lot of basic BSL but I want to brush up on my skills so I can effectively communicate with any BSL users I come across! It’s also a fun hobby ☺️
