This script serves as a reference book and should provide you with the basic information. Apart from that there will be role-plays and handouts in some of the meetings. Further, you will find some useful hints and copies for your application at an Englishspeaking hospital and a list of the most important abbreviations to put into your pocket when on the ward. The concept of the course is based upon your lively participation you`d rather not stay seated – bored to death – while an even more boring lecturer explains his amiable but (again) boring theories.
