Page one lists
most essential English words and phrases commonly used by X-ray
staff when talking to patients. Translations of these phrases into
different languages are included on subsequent pages, and the words
and phrases can be combined to meet most important needs when
English-speaking X-ray staff communicate with patients who do not
speak English. It is hoped that the sheets will also help to improve
relationships between radio-diagnostic staff and foreign patients.
Sometimes, for
practical reasons, linguistic accuracy has been sacrificed for
brevity. Word order, gender and direct translation are not always
strictly accurate. Nevertheless it is hoped offensive phrases have
been avoided and the gist of essential meaning can be conveyed.
The
translations have been provided by volunteers, but the project is by
no means complete. If you, or a friend or colleague are able to
provide a translation into a language nor yet available on this
site, your input would be most welcome. Please make contact
