Hi everyone,

My name is Vedith Mupparaju, and I’m a physiotherapist currently pursuing an MSc in Contemporary Physiotherapy Practice at the University of Lincoln. Originally from India, I bring over two years of hands-on experience working with patients across neurological, musculoskeletal, and cardiorespiratory conditions in both hospital and community settings.

I’m HCPC registered and a member of the British Deaf Association and the National Deaf Children’s Society, and I'm currently exploring ways to make my practice more inclusive—starting with learning British Sign Language.

I'm here to connect, learn, and grow as both a healthcare professional and an advocate for accessible care. If you have any advice for BSL learners or insights on using BSL in healthcare settings, I’d be truly grateful to hear from you.

Looking forward to being part of this wonderful community!

Warm regards,
Vedith mupparaju

    • I work in research and want to learn BSL to enable more inclusivity within this field. I work with many different communities and find that the deaf community is too often overlooked. I want to address this and hopefully learn a lot myself and maybe gain some new friends.  
    • Hello, I am a Clinical Research Practitioner. I recruit people to research studies mostly in hospitals but will be moving out into the wider community..
    • Hello both.  I’m also happy to practise some BSL, as with anyone on the site. Feel free to send me a message!
    • Hi there. If you're still looking for a signing buddy, please send me a message as I'd be happy to help in practising some BSL.
    • that's interesting.
    • Hi guys. I'm new here too
    • Hello. I am learning sign language for my DofE award and am currently enjoying it. I am keen to learn it and personally think I am learning it quite well. There is  deaf community centre near me so after I have nailed BSL i intend on visiting and interpreting for my local park run as a volunteer
    • I am learning BSL because I want to feel more connected to the Deaf community. Even though I am deaf and use a cochlear implant, I grew up using spoken language, so I never fully learned sign language. Over time, I started to feel left out in Deaf spaces where people communicate through BSL. Learning BSL feels important to me not just for communication, but for belonging. I want to be able to express myself freely, understand others and be part of conversations without barriers. It is also important for my work, as I support people with different needs, and I want to provide more inclusive and accessible support in the future.
