SUPPORT AT EVERY STEP
NEU Professionals is known for our award-winning recruitment services in the medical and healthcare communities around the world. But we know that we cannot do it alone without the support of our partners here in the UK and abroad. This support helps give us credibility and connections among local communities and stakeholders, as well as lasting support for our candidates both before and after they arrive in the UK.
Specialist Language Courses (SLC)
Language education matters. In a globalised world, knowing languages and using them effectively enables people to work and study in other countries, to experience and understand other cultures, to build and join networks, make new friendships and fall in love across borders.
This English for Nurses course teaches you the English you need to study and work in an English-speaking healthcare environment, attend conferences and seminars, and keep up with nursing journals and research written in English.
The course covers a wide range of essential care, from introducing yourself to discussing pain, pressure area care, breathing difficulties, infection control, falls and injuries, to administering medications, IV therapy, post-operative and end-of-life care. The units cover medical terminology, patient and staff interactions, hospital language and documents, and much more. In addition, at the end of each unit there is a quiz to make sure you have understood the most important language items.
During the course, you study all aspects of nursing language, including vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar and functional skills. There is a very wide range of activities, including interactive recording where you record and listen to yourself in conversation with a patient. The program is strongly practical and is regularly reviewed so the content remains relevant and up to date.
