Abstract:

Global migration continues to increase, and with it comes increasing
linguistic diversity. This presents obvious challenges for both healthcare
provider and patient, and the chapters in this volume represent a range of
international perspectives on language barriers in health care. A variety of
factors influence the best ways of approaching and overcoming these language
barriers, including cultural, geographical, political and practical
considerations, and as a result a range of approaches and solutions are
suggested and discussed. The authors in this volume discuss a wide range of
countries and languages, and cover issues that will be familiar to all
healthcare practitioners, including the role of informal interpreters,
interpreting in a clinical setting, bilingual healthcare practitioners and
working with languages with comparatively small numbers of speakers.
