Abstract

The programme’s main aim was to bring together mental health practitioners, interpreters, health care administrators, policy makers and researchers in order to explore the most salient issues in the provision of mental health care to linguistically and culturally diverse patients, and the evidence base around cross-cultural communication in MHC settings, with the ultimate goal of enhancing the delivery of mental health care to Scottish residents who use a range of spoken and sign languages.
