How Language Barriers Affect the Healthcare Sector
With the UK being a multicultural society, languages and dialects aren’t always the same. This can make communication very difficult. Language barriers can often be problematic when attempting to determine a diagnosis and negotiating effective treatments between a patient and a healthcare practitioner.

What Can Multilingual Staff Offer the Local Community?
Some of our staff can communicate in two or more languages. This is very important for building a relationship between the patient and the pharmacy and aids decision-making when it comes to diagnosis and choice of treatment.
