This course provides specialist knowledge for interpreting in healthcare settings. The purpose of this micro-credential course is to upskill people who interpret, advocate or mediate for refugees and migrants, as well as clinicians and healthcare managers/planners.

 

The importance of doctor-patient communication will be covered with a focus on the role of interpreters to support communication between them. Interpreter wellbeing will also be discussed.

 

It is the first micro-credential in a package of multiple micro-credentials that we aim to develop, which will be stackable towards a Graduate Certificate in healthcare interpreting.
