Abstract:

Health interpreters and translators often face unpredictable assignments in
the multifaceted healthcare setting. This book is based on the very popular
international publication (Crezee, 2013) and has been supplemented with
commonly asked questions and glossaries in Turkish. 
Turkish is the home language of a very significant number of (now often
elderly) migrants in countries outside of Turkey and this book provides an
invaluable resource to those interpreting for these migrants in the healthcare
setting. The book will also be invaluable to those interpreting for medical
tourists from Turkey travelling to other countries for treatment.
In short, this is an exceptionally useful and easily accessible handbook, in
particular for interpreters, translators, educators, cultural mediators,
health professionals and other practitioners working between Turkish and
English - or other languages.
Speakers of Turkish represent a rich and diverse range of historical,
religious and cultural traditions. This book covers some of those, while also
describing the Turkish healthcare system and touching on cultural beliefs and
traditional approaches to health.
This unique book is an indispensable vade mecum ("go with me") for anyone
wishing to navigate language access involving speakers of Turkish in the
healthcare setting.
