he coronavirus pandemic, in particular the introduction of masks, presented a huge challenge for the UK's D/deaf community, many of whom rely on visual cues in lipreading and sign language. This particularly affected D/deaf healthcare professionals (HCPs), who faced significant communication challenges at work due to the lack of transparent masks or other reasonable adjustments.
