We take you forward in time to the year 2020, where an ultra-conservative government has swept into power on the promise of radical reform.
Their first act is to cancel all funding for interpreting and translating services.
Will health outcomes be compromised? What risks are healthcare providers now exposed to? Can we make better use of bilingual employees?
We use this scenario to explore the risks and benefits of using bilingual workers in the health system.
Expect your viewpoints to be challenged and your practices reassessed.
