This course is aimed at anyone who requires a knowledge of medical terminology in their role. It is suitable for anyone who may encounter medical terminology and wishes to develop their medical terminology knowledge further. We can train up to 30 learners. We recently trained a group of sign language interpreters who found the training invaluable when working in medical environments.
The aim of the course is for learners to develop an understanding of medical terminology in an enjoyable, interactive and informative way so that they are better able to decipher and unravel the mystery of long medical words.
The course covers the following topics:-
Basics of medical terminology – word building • Common Roots, prefixes and suffixes • Anatomy and physiology via a virtual tour of the body • Major bones of the body • Prescription writing and abbreviations • Classification of drugs • Common Abbreviations • Instruments and investigations • Medical Specialities and personnel • Blood tests
At the end of the course students will have a clear understanding of medical terminology and are encouraged to use their newly learned skills in a series of quizzes and interactive games.

FEEDBACK FROM PREVIOUS ATTENDEES:
“Mediterm training is a must for any interpreter working in healthcare. Just do it.”
“The trainer was very knowledgeable and explained in clear and concise way.”
“In three words: Excellent. medical. prep.”
“It basically teaches you the Latin and Greek for each body part/dept with no-pressure quizzes. I’m surprised how much I enjoyed it.”
“it was really good; we had a run through of the anatomy of the body, and the function of each part. We also covered medical terminology for illnesses/disorders/intervention looking at the Latin meaning of each root/suffix/prefix so when we come across unfamiliar words, we can work out what they are/mean.”
