Project Summary
This project is an analysis of medical interpreting. It aims for a better understanding of the experiences, particularities and challenges of medical interpreting. I will start my investigation by looking at the codes of ethics and practice that regulate medical interpreting and I will analyse what interpreters, clinicians and interpreting agency staff think about it. The formal understanding of the role of interpreters will be complemented with experiences of interpreting reflected in clinicians’, interpreters’ and patients’ stories. I would like to implement the results of my study (especially concerning best practice) in the interpreting practices and to recommend possible new guidelines concerning the specific role and responsibilities of medical interpreters.
