Signs of Health: A Pocket Medical Sign Language Guide (Let's Sign BSL)

Bought this for my daughter who works in A&E, as sometimes signing deaf patients are brought in without family or interpreter - helps to communicate, even if at a basic / minimal level. Other daughter (anaesthetist) has purchased the Kindle version to keep on her phone for same reason.

Excellent little book, easy to read & understand if your learning sign language

No e simple signs and pictures

A simple little reference that explains some of the basic principles of communicating with the deaf, adds in a small number of signs focused around medical situations (as one would expect) not enough to explain medical situations, but enough to say things like, "Stethoscope, check, heart" and getting some general gists across.Has an interesting DIY sign explanation at the back, short and sweet giving some basic principles of making up your own signs in such a way that they might be understood. All in all fit for purpose, and small enough for a shirt or pants pocket.

perfect for those planning to work in the hospital services.

I was hoping that this would contain basic medical terms (you know, asthma and the likes) but really, there's not a lot in this that isn't in the main dictionary.

Bought this for my daughter who is studying occupational therapy at uni. In her spare time she has been going to a sign language course, she says it's been quite useful.

This should be issued to all health professionals. Even if they don't learn to sign the patient can point to the picture to expalin what's wrong.

i'm not sure if it's totally current, due to new technologies now, but it's definitely better than not knowing anything about medical signs.

Didnt know this was British Sign but kept it anyways because it is interesting to learn different ways to sign words.

great & fast shipping.

This small book is not in ASL... Was confused when I received it. There are also NO pictures of any signs just a description of what to do.

This book has sign language from Britain. Sign language is different in other countries. There's nothing in here to tell you which country. We use American Sign Language.I cannot use it at all and I plan to send it back.
