Abstract

Interpreting studies have exponentially grown over the years propelled by the realities of multicultural societies which, amongst other factors, include constant waves of immigration and the subsequent allocation of newly arrived citizens in their host countries—a process entailing public service access and provision. Communicative interactions between users who do not speak the same language as public service providers have been largely studied in different settings belonging to the field PSIT (Public Service Translation and Interpreting), ranging from police, asylum, legal, educational, or, the focus of this volume, healthcare contexts. This edited volume aims to advance knowledge on healthcare interpreting and reflect on new research trends. This interesting collection of papers will greatly benefit scholars, students, and practitioners in the field of healthcare interpreting by providing an updated revision of different research trends in just one volume, thus helping us to establish where we are and where we are headed to.
