Interpreting from and to English as a third language for signed language interpreters
The increasing prevalence of English as a lingua franca in Europe adds complexities in the field of signed language interpretation. This article delves into the challenges signed language interpreters (SLIs) face when working with English as a third language rather than as a native or second language. Unlike their counterparts in spoken language interpretation, SLIs often lack the educational and professional pathways to branch out to additional …

Some also acquire International Sign (IS) as a working language and interpret between IS and other signed and spoken languages. Being highly context dependent, IS has limited conventions and there is no establish…

Do not forget the professional – the value of the FIRST model for guiding the structural involvement of patients in rheumatology research
BACKGROUND: The FIRST model describes five practical components that enable equal collaboration between patients and professionals in clinical rheumatology research: Facilitate, identify, respect, support and training. OBJECTIVE: To assess the value of this model as a framework for setting up and guiding the structural involvement of people with arthritis in health research. METHOD: The FIRST model was used as a framework during the guidance of a…
Co-designing collaboration
Involving older people in policymaking is an emerging trend. In the literature no studies were found on the macro-level development of partnerships between older people and professionals in healthcare policy. The purpose of this article is to explore the potential of a partnership framework as part of action research (AR) for facilitating user involvement and collaborations in policymaking. We present a study in which older people became partners…
Shared decision making
Although many clinicians feel they already use shared decision making, research shows a perception-reality gap. A M Stiggelbout and colleagues discuss why it is important and highlight some best practices.
