Meeting Description:

A unique conference, dedicated to the teaching and learning of English for
medicine and healthcare.

The English for Healthcare conference aims to encourage an exchange of ideas
to stimulate discussion and to provide a platform for the presentation of new
approaches to the teaching and learning of language and communication in
medicine.

We welcome proposals that relate to classroom practice and proposals that are
research-based and develop our understanding of the language used in medicine
and healthcare.
The conference attracts language teachers and communication skills trainers
working with health professionals, both in training and in the workplace, and
practitioners from the medical translation and interpreting field.
