Interpreting and language access

This branch covers live interpreting and the provision of language access in healthcare. It divides the concern by level: the interpreter’s work and the healthcare organisation’s services and responsibilities. Planning and budgeting written translations belong to translation projects.

• Providing language access in healthcare — affected patients, barriers to provision, rights and consent, language justice, institutional investment and technology governance
• Medical interpreting — interpreting modes, shared workload, live delivery, preparation, working conditions, subject knowledge and professional satisfaction
