The European Accessibility Act is a new piece of legislation that will apply to EU member countries from the end of June, but what effects might it have on the UK given that it is no longer an EU member state. The Act covers a wide range of products and services that blind and partially sighted people use daily. To help analyse this are Antoine Fobe, head of advocacy and campaigns with the European Blind Union and Léonie Watson, Director of accessibility consultancy and auditing company TetraLogical.The Audio Description Association is looking for more visually impaired people to join their organisation as members, with the aim of shaping the future of audio description provision for consumers.

Dr. Uché Blackstock is an emergency medicine physician and thought leader whose work is deeply woven with both personal and professional experiences, dedicated to addressing the impact of inherited racism and social ideas of difference within healthcare institutions. She attended Harvard University for her undergraduate degree and medical school. As the founder and CEO of Advancing Health Equity, she leads a transformational organization focused on partnering with health systems to understand implicit bias, enforce accountability and promote cultural competence. Dr. Blackstock's groundbreaking book, Legacy: A Black Physician Reckons with Racism in Medicine, quickly became a New York Times Bestseller, highlighting the urgent need to dismantle racial inequities through the voices of those affected. In today's episode, host Shay Beider and Dr. Blackstock explore the urgent need for conversations around implicit bias in medicine. Dr. Blackstock shares how honoring her mother's voice and story sheds light on the barriers in medicine that transcend individual effort or excellence. The pair discuss the racialized legacy embedded in medical education and practice, and how deeply rooted biases continue to create harmful health outcomes for patients today. Dr. Blackstock challenges healthcare professionals to move beyond performative niceness, confront uncomfortable truths, and examine data that reveal alarming disparities. Shay and Dr. Blackstock also discuss that systemic change is possible and is rooted in understanding, compassion, and cultural humility.

The Association of Optometrists will be asking MPs to amend what they regard as an outdated administrative task that is delaying thousands of patients getting their certificates of visual impairment. These certificates allow people to get access to essential care services after a diagnosis, but at the moment only ophthalmologists can sign them off. Adam Sampson is the Association's Chief Executive and he tells In Touch about the situation and about how thousands of optometrists across the country could help with this problem.The Rayban Meta Smart Glasses have been on the market in the UK for a little while now, but for some months, many visually impaired users have been waiting for a particularly helpful AI feature to land in the UK.

We ask this, and other listener's questions to Chris Yiu who is Director of Public Policy at Meta.Presenter: Peter White Producer: Beth Hemmings Production Coordinator: Liz Poole Website image description: Peter White sits smiling in the centre of the image and he is wearing a dark green jumper.

Times are hard for many charities, and those in the sight loss sector are no exception.

Dr. Denis Bouboulis is a leading specialist in Neuro-Immunology, known for his pioneering work in diagnosing and treating PANS/PANDAS, which is a Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorder Associated with Streptococcus (PANDAS), autoimmune encephalitis, and tick-borne illnesses like Lyme disease. As the Founder and Director of Superior Associates Infusion Center and head of Advanced Allergy, Immunology & Asthma in Connecticut, he has successfully treated thousands of patients whose conditions were often overlooked or misdiagnosed. With over 13 years of experience as a board-certified physician and a medical degree from New York Medical College, Dr. Bouboulis is committed to raising awareness and delivering cutting-edge care for both common and complex immune-related conditions.   In today's episode of Conversations on Healing, host Shay Beider welcomes Dr. Denis Bouboulis to discuss vector-borne illness, Long COVID, PANS/PANDAS, and the body's immune response. The two discuss how vector-based infections like Lyme disease and parasitic bacteria can remain dormant until a triggering event—such as COVID-19—causes a breakdown in the immune system, leading to symptomatic and chronic illness.

Over the past nine months, the RNIB, the UK's largest charity supporting blind and partially sighted people, has made some of their staff redundant and, more widely, has made changes to some of their services. They have also recently published their ambitious 10-year strategy, that aims to improve the lives of blind and partially sighted people. The charity's CEO Matt Stringer provides an update on the changes implemented and what the future of the organisation might look like.Presenter: Peter White Producer: Beth Hemmings Production Coordinator: Liz Poole Website image description: Peter White sits smiling in the centre of the image and he is wearing a dark green jumper.

Marc also shares a free app he co-created called How We Feel, designed to help users track and improve their emotional well-being.

It will also equip junior researchers and others with the knowledge and skills to become future leaders in the field.We're joined by Dr. Peter Simcock, who is leading the work at the centre and Georgina Smerald from the charity Sense.

In a recent episode of In Touch, we interviewed Sandi Wassmer, who at the time, we believed to be the UK's only blind female CEO. Among the very positive responses we received were a couple pointing us in the direction of two other blind women in the top job, and who would make excellent guests.

Back in November 2021, In Touch looked at accessibility problems with touch screen payment card machines. Fast forward to 2025 and the amount of contact we're still getting about this suggests very little progress has been made.In this episode, we talk to representatives from RNIB and the hospitality and finance industries to ask why card machines are still so high on our list of accessibility gripes. We also hear what manufacturers of these machines have to say on the matter, and we report on the development of a card which is raising hopes of a solution.

What are the things you don't know that you don't know?!That was the question posed to us by blind listener Lexi Hibberd who told us that there were aspects of everyday life like eye contact and other body language which hadn't been explained to her. What else then, she asked, didn't she know? We were so intrigued by Lexi's question that we thought we should explore it further. Joining us to do just that is blind writer and broadcaster Lyndall Bywater, audio description writer Liz Gutman, Richard Lane who lost his sight in his early 20s, and of course Lexi herself. We discuss a range of issues that arise from Lexi's question, including what it was that inspired her to ask it.Presenter: Peter White Producer: Fern Lulham Production Coordinator: David BaguleyWebsite image description: Peter White sits smiling in the centre of the image, wearing a dark green jumper.

The treatment of Geographic Atrophy (GA) or late stage dry age-related macular degeneration as it's also known, is proving to be a pretty tough nut to crack. Hopes had been high that a treatment available in the USA would also be approved for use here in the UK. However, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has rejected the application. Ed Holloway, Chief Executive of the Macular Society and Bill Best who has lived with GA for many years join us to discuss the MHRA decision.Optomap is an imaging system which produces significantly more detailed information about the retina than had been available before. This can lead to earlier diagnosis of many eye conditions and accordingly a better chance of preventing sight loss. Dr Peter Hampson, Policy and Clinical Director of the Association of Optometrists and John Hopcroft, Clinical Services Manager at Boots join us to discuss the system and how public access to it is being improved by bringing it to the high street.

Diddy Sexual Assault Lawsuit Dismissed Over Statute of Limitations Sean "Diddy" Combs has successfully defended himself against a sexual assault lawsuit filed by Derrick Lee Cardello-Smith, a Michigan inmate, as a federal judge dismissed the case due to the statute of limitations. According to court documents obtained by In Touch, the claims were deemed untimely, and the judge dismissed the lawsuit with prejudice, permanently barring Derrick from refiling. Derrick accused Diddy of assaulting him at a Holiday Inn in Detroit in 1997. He alleged that the music mogul invited him to a party, spiked his drink, and assaulted him while he was unconscious. However, the court ruled that Derrick's legal window to file such claims had long expired. The ruling stated, “[Derrick] filed this lawsuit in 2024, which is long after the applicable statute of limitations expired.” Diddy, 55, denied all allegations, and his legal team highlighted inconsistencies in Derrick's story. “[Derrick] alleges that this purported assault occurred in two different counties on the same day,” Diddy's attorney pointed out, referencing previous filings. The legal team also described Derrick as a "serial filer" of frivolous lawsuits, accusing him of attempting to extort the entertainment mogul. “This is not [Derrick's] first attempt at a shakedown — and unless this Court intervenes, it will not be his last,” Diddy's lawyers argued. They noted Derrick's history of meritless lawsuits, which they claimed caused significant legal expenses for Diddy. Despite dismissing the case, the judge denied Diddy's request for monetary sanctions and an order prohibiting Derrick from filing further lawsuits. However, the court issued a stern warning to Derrick, cautioning him against filing “duplicative, frivolous, or harassing” cases in the future. The judge added that failure to comply could result in severe restrictions. In an unexpected twist before the dismissal, Derrick attempted to involve Jennifer Lopez, Diddy's former partner, as a witness, claiming she held information relevant to the case. Jennifer, 55, was not called to testify, as the court found no merit in Derrick's claims. Diddy's legal team described the accusations as baseless, pointing out Derrick's criminal history, including convictions for sexual assault and kidnapping. “This man is a convicted felon and sexual predator who has been sentenced on 14 counts of sexual assault and kidnapping over the last 26 years,” Diddy's attorney stated. They emphasized that Diddy had no prior knowledge of Derrick, let alone any interactions with him. With the lawsuit dismissed, Diddy avoids further legal entanglement in this case, though his legal team remains vigilant against any potential future filings by Derrick. The decision underscores the challenges of pursuing decades-old claims and highlights the impact of inconsistent allegations on a plaintiff's credibility. #Diddy #SeanCombs #LawsuitDismissed #JenniferLopez #StatuteOfLimitations #EntertainmentNews #LegalDrama  Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In Touch assesses the findings of a report that looks at the ways special educational needs care is being delivered to the children who need it. The report gives little to no mention of the challenges of specific groups of pupils and so, with the help of Rachael Hewett of the Vision Impairment Centre for Teaching and Research at Birmingham University and the Thomas Pocklington Trust's Tara Chattaway, we review the implications of a system in crisis for visually impaired pupils.When it is your time of the month and you're visually impaired, it can be tricky to know when your period has arrived. In Touch looks at an upcoming device that is aiming to provide women with information about their menstrual cycle in an accessible way. The device and corresponding app, is called FlowSense. Muna Daud is the founder and CEO and she provides information on how the device works. Leanne Best and Tassia Leefe, both describe the unique challenges they have with their periods as visually impaired women. FlowSense are looking for more women to test out their prototypes. If you are interested, you can contact Muna Daud via email: Muna@flowsense.co.

Christian Combs, the 26-year-old son of music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs, was recently served with legal papers in connection to a lawsuit filed against him by Grace O'Marcaigh, who alleges assault, battery, sexual assault, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The legal paperwork was reportedly delivered to Diddy's Miami mansion, where Christian was staying. According to court documents obtained by In Touch, the stewardess claims the assault occurred during a yacht trip in July 2022, which she alleges was organized by Diddy and sold as a "wholesome family outing." However, she contends that the trip devolved into chaos, with illegal drug use and sex work. "It resulted in an unexpected increase in workload for her and her colleagues as well as unwanted exposure to unlawful drug use, sex work, and general chaos," she said in her lawsuit. O'Marcaigh, who worked on the yacht, explains that Christian became "inappropriately interested" in her during the trip, pressuring her to drink with him and later assaulting her in a private room. According to the lawsuit, Christian "violently grabbed [her] arm" and prevented her from leaving the room. "I was scared and realized I was in a very dangerous situation," the woman claimed in her court filing. "I quickly suspected that the tequila was spiked." She said Christian continued to demand more shots and physically cornered her. The situation escalated further when he allegedly groped her and attempted to force her into sexual acts. The assault stopped only when another employee entered the room, allowing her to escape. O'Marcaigh reported the incident to her Captain the following day but claims that he lacked compassion and failed to investigate. "He insisted that I was probably voluntarily partying with the guests," she stated. She added that she was forced to continue serving Christian throughout the trip. As a result of the alleged assault, O'Marcaigh claims to have suffered severe emotional and physical distress. Her lawsuit states that the incident led to the breakdown of her relationship with her longtime partner, as well as a decline in her mental health, which required medication and therapy. In addition to the emotional toll, the incident is said to have ended her career in the yachting industry. The lawsuit claims her partner was deeply affected by the visible bruises on her body, and their relationship ultimately ended. "I lost my job, my partner, and my career," O'Marcaigh said. Diddy's attorney, Aaron Dyer, has dismissed the claims as meritless. "This is just another lewd and meritless claim from Tyrone Blackburn," Dyer said, referring to O'Marcaigh's lawyer. "We will be filing a motion to dismiss this outrageous claim." Meanwhile, the Combs family remains embroiled in legal challenges. Sean "Diddy" Combs is currently facing sex trafficking and racketeering charges. Despite being denied bond multiple times, Diddy maintains his innocence and is preparing for a trial set for May 2025. His children have shown support for him publicly, posting on social media to stand by their father amid the ongoing legal battles. "This is just another case in a string of legal battles surrounding the Combs family," Dyer added. "We are confident that the truth will prevail." O'Marcaigh's lawsuit continues as she seeks justice for the alleged assault that has had lasting effects on her career and personal life. The case is ongoing, and both parties are preparing for further legal proceedings. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
