Speak to me is a resource to assist interpreters working in healthcare settings in Ireland, and particularly in palliative care contexts. It has been developed by the COMMUNICATE YOUR HEALTH (IRELAND) partnership, which comprises the Interpreters in Palliative Care: ‘On Speaking Terms—Matters of Life and Death’ development project (funded by the Irish Hospice Foundation) and the Health Service Executive (HSE) National Social Inclusion Unit, Ireland.
The ‘On Speaking Terms—Matters of Life and Death’ development project sought to respond to some of the challenges for interpreters working in healthcare settings and, in particular, palliative care.
This App has also been developed in conjunction with the Irish Translators’ and Interpreters’ Association (ITIA)
