English for Health Professionals is a course in English as Foreign Language designed for Medical Professionals. It aims to give practice in the use of a wide range of words and expressions that are required by medical personnel for successful communication in their work.
The main areas are the following:
Presentation
Taking a history
Asking about symptoms
Recording information
Examining a patient
Explaining a diagnosis
Understanding abbrevations
The course places special emphasis on skills work - particulary speaking. Many of the activities involve pairwork and the book includes short role-plays, which will enable the students to relate the language they are learning to their own work experience.
