My Mission Statement
English to Care was created so that health-care professionals can administer care to sick, vulnerable and often anxious patients and their families with the English language skills needed.
Its core values and objectives for health-care professionals are:
-
A sincere attitude and vocation to want to serve.
-
To develop a professional relationship based on trust, authenticity and respect is at the centre of what English to Care teaches.
-
Clinical care centred around compassion and empathy.
-
To be able to communicate in a time-pressured environment and where there is a limited amount of time to get to know someone.
-
To respect cultural and ethnic beliefs, giving individuals the choice in how they want to be treated.
-
To communicate accurately and clearly so there are fewer clinical mistakes.
