The Business Services Organisation (BSO) Interpreting Service is commissioned by the Department of Health’s Strategic Planning and Performance Group (SPPG) to provide foreign language interpreting support to Health and Social Care providers in Northern Ireland. Interpreting support is essential for all Patients/Clients who do not have sufficient proficiency in English language. This webinar we will be joined by Claire Hamilton who will provide an awareness of:
- why we provide language support in HSCNI
- the risks of using untrained Interpreters (family/friends)
- the BSO Interpreting Service and the Big Word Telephone Interpreting Service
- how to access language support
- how to work effectively with Interpreters
