BBC News A deaf woman is calling for ambulance crews to learn basic sign language after paramedics were unable to tell her that her husband had died. Craig Whyles, divisional director for Derbyshire at EMAS said: "We would like to offer our sincere condolences to the patient's family and I am deeply sorry for the poor experience they had with our service. "We would like to speak to the patient's family about their experience and urge them to get in touch with us at their earliest convenience. "As an organisation we are currently working with the Nottinghamshire Deaf Society to discuss how we can improve our education to staff around deaf awareness and common emergency communication problems."
