Working with Interpreters

Course overview

Anyone using the services of an interpreter or translator should be clear about the difference between the two and the role each plays in aiding communication. Often referred to as community or social interpreters interpreters and translators do more than just interpret or translate information; they also build bridges between very different cultures and societies. Interpreters and translators play a significant role in shaping the integration of displaced persons throughout each phase of the migratory process. They may provide support in several ways teaching displaced persons to adapt and socialise within their new community. They bring a sense of social acceptance and provide an opportunity for displaced persons to talk about their experiences. Their role should be prioritised in healthcare services for displaced persons. This course will explore the impact of communication and interpretation on healthcare provision for displaced persons.
