DESCRIPTION:\n	Healthwatch is hosting this event to launch the Your Care
	\, Your Way campaign\, which calls for improved accountability and impleme
	ntation of the Accessible Information Standard (AIS).\n\n\n\n	Healthwatch 
	England has joined forces with a coalition of user-led national organisati
	ons to highlight how the NHS and social care fail to support people's acce
	ssible communication needs.\n\n\n\n	By law\, all publicly funded health an
	d social care providers must fully comply with the AIS and ensure people a
	re given information about their health and care in accessible formats. Ne
	w research by Healthwatch England and partner organisations has shown this
	 is not happening\, with many services overlooking people's needs and fail
	ing to provide the right support.\n\n\n\n	At this webinar\, you will hear:
	\n\n\n\n	\n		A summary of Healthwatch England's recent research findings o
	n accessible information\, drawing on Freedom of Information requests subm
	itted to 200 NHS provider trusts and over 6\,000 people's experiences shar
	ed with Healthwatch\n	\n	\n		Survey data on staff and public experiences o
	f the AIS from a coalition of user-led charities\, including RNIB\, SignHe
	alth and RNID\, and user-led perspectives on how to improve implementation
	\n	\n	\n		Information about NHS England's ongoing review of the AIS\, deve
	loping conclusions from the review\, and opportunities to contribute\n	\n	
	\n		A perspective from an NHS Trust on the barriers to implementing the AI
	S and overcoming them\n	\n\n\n\n	We welcome questions from the audience an
	d contributions towards the end of the webinar\, as well as a discussion a
	bout how you and your organisations can get involved in supporting the cam
	paign.\n\n\n\n	This event is for staff working in NHS and social care serv
	ices\, service providers\, ICS leaders\, voluntary sector and professional
	s. Register\n\n\n\n	This event is being run by:\n\n\n\n	\n		Urte Macikene\
	, Policy and External Affairs Manager\, Healthwatch England. Healthwatch E
	ngland sits on the Accessible Information Standard Review Programme Board.
	\n	\n	\n		Malcolm Pearce\, Senior Manager\, North of England Commissioning

	mation Standard\n	\n	\n		Mike Wordingham\, Policy and Campaigns Officer\,
