Hi all. I was working on a ward recently where most of my patients couldn't speak English. It was challenging to deliver even basic care at times. I have heard of a book of translations getting around - I have also seen a diary with translations. Anyone have suggestions?

The 'Nurse and Patient Language Helper' - has 50 languages translated with bedside care phrases in English matched with the other language to point to. See www.nurselanguagehelper.com - I think it's an Australian book. Also has support materials and midwife section..
