During the webinar you will be assisted to understand the core differences between diabetes types, symptoms, and potential long-term complications. Michelle will introduce you to the clinical vocabulary used during such primary care consultations.
From explaining the basic breakdown of blood glucose and insulin resistance to understanding complex medication regimens, this talk bridges the gap between primary care theory and your real-world interpreting assignments.
As well as being a working GP, Michelle is studying BSL Level 3. Her language journey—combined with her clinical experience—gives her added insight into the unique communication barriers and systemic challenges Deaf people face when accessing primary healthcare.
