Translating patient information resources into Arabic to address health inequalities |
The Patients Association is holding online focus groups to improve health equity by translating and culturally adapting its ‘Getting the most out of your appointment’ and ‘Knowing your rights and accessing support as a patient’ factsheets into six languages.
The factsheets support communities to understand their healthcare rights, actively engage in decisions about their treatment, and improve communication with healthcare professionals.
The factsheets have already been translated by Language Is Everything, an interpreting and translation service we work with on our helpline. They will be sent in advance of the focus groups and discussions will be focussed on whether they need to be culturally adapted or the language needs to be changed.
If you speak Arabic fluently, are interested in being in a focus group with up to four other people, and wish to help us ensure we have two accurately translated factsheets, please fill in your details below. Those chosen will be given an £80 voucher to thank them for their time.
