COMMENT From Gordon in Stirling: "Given that it is quite hard to find one source of information on everything affecting blind people like myself, Infosound appears to be offering all the best content and information and I also appreciate the clarity of the recording and ease of use of the internet service. I tend to prefer to get information provided in a neat, 'here's the facts' type of way, so the web-edition style was very good."

Each Briefing contains several short items, each on a different topic, and all of which are aimed at being relevant to someone in the UK who lives with sight loss.

The latest Briefing will always be published by 12 noon
(GMT or BST) on a Monday.

The way that the Briefing is presented on this page offers
you the ability to play or download the complete Infosound Briefing. You can also choose to either play or download the individual component items it contains and, where available, listen to a longer audio interview on the subject or visit a relevant web site for further information about each topic.
