Join the for an insightful online session about et hical dilemmas.
\n \nJoin us for an interesting session on p rofessional conduct and ethical dilemmas faced by medical interpreters both inside and outside of fo rmal interpreting encounters. We will explore:
\n \nWorking with relatives and
children in the room: How do you handle consent\,
authority\, and sensitive conversations?
\n Â
(Especially when a child or family member m
ay be speaking for the patient\, or when it is unc
lear who gives permission to share information
).
\n  (Discussing the emotional st
rain of delivering difficult news and staying prof
essional during highly emotional moments.)
When your own beliefs confl
ict with an assignment: What do you do if you are
given little or no information ahead of time?
\n  (Situations where your personal or rel
igious values clash with what you are asked to int
erpret—and you may be unprepared.)
Keeping it professional outside the
appointment: What should you do in waiting rooms\
, hallways\, or during small talk?
\n  (Moments where casual conversation or emotional c
onnection with patients can challenge your neutral
ity.)
When the patie
nt is asked to use a friend\, family member\, or a
pp instead: How can you respond without causing co
nflict?
\n  (Making the case for train
ed interpreters when others suggest informal or un
safe alternatives.)
Bri ng your questions and share your experiences to he lp the interpreting community recognise not only w hen such dilemmas arise\, but also how to communic ate clearly and effectively with patients and othe r professionals with whom we work\, in order to fi nd mutually acceptable solutions.
