British Sign Language

What is BSL VRS?

BSL VRS allows you to speak with us in British Sign Language using a qualified interpreter. The interpreter joins your video call, then phones our surgery and relays the conversation – signing to you and speaking to us. This ensures clear communication and full accessibility.

How to Use the Service

  • Click the InterpretersLive! link below
  • Start a video call – a qualified BSL interpreter will join.
  • The interpreter calls our surgery and interprets both ways (BSL ↔ English).
  • Finish your conversation – it’s that simple!

Take the NHS Friends and Family Test

The Friends and Family Test (FFT) is an important feedback tool that supports the fundamental principle that people who use NHS services should have the opportunity to provide feedback on their experience. Listening to the views of patients and staff helps identify what is working well, what can be improved and how.

The FFT asks people if they would recommend the services they have used and offers a range of responses.

How did we do? We’d love to hear your feedback about our services, please take a moment to complete your feedback about The Ridge Medical Practice by clicking onto our survey link just here:
