<h3 class=”subheadMIstyles”>Communicate your health apps — accessible resources for healthcare professionals</h3>
Launched in November 2014, ‘Understand Me’ and ‘Speak To Me’ are free mobile apps developed in association with the Communicate Your Health (Ireland) Partnership and supported and funded by the HSE National Social Inclusion Unit and the Irish Hospice Foundation.
The apps are accessible resources, designed to assist healthcare and palliative care professionals in caring for patients from diverse ethnic, religious and cultural groups and feature good practice guidelines and information for person-centred intercultural care and the provision of interpreter services.
<h3 class=”subheadMIstyles”>Background information and key findings</h3>
The Interpreters in Palliative Care development project ’On Speaking Terms — Matters of Life and Death’ successfully identified the challenges faced by palliative care professionals and community health interpreters when communicating around matters of life and death with patients who have limited English proficiency and who may also come from diverse ethnic, religious and social groups.
Attitudes to talking about death and dying can vary considerably across cultures and while palliative care services are well developed in Ireland, palliative care can have differing meanings and levels of service in other cultures and countries.
