An honour to be part of this ground breaking innovation of mask design and manufacturing.
The transparent face mask will make such a difference to so many lives.
We’re very excited to share an important, and long-awaited, update about clear face masks. Two types of transparent masks have now been approved for use in NHS health and social care settings across the UK.
Fantastic news! This will help so many deaf patients to understand their doctors or other health professionals more easily, and will be a game-changer for deaf children & young people who rely on lip reading and facial expressions.
The Department for Health and Social Care will start piloting transparent face masks in 2022. These pilots will explore the usability and effectiveness of masks for communication between staff and patients.

We also want to thank all the deaf young people, families, deaf professionals and other organisations who have worked to raise this issue. What an amazing result!
