The debate stirred up by these regulations demonstrates the difficulties in...

Moreover, for high-involvement services, all consumers find it important to be...

Our aim was to review the available relevant literature, together with an examination of the potential effects...

The Basque Country has two official languages, Basque and Spanish, the first being spoken by 37% of the population. The Basque Health Service has developed language schemes to fulfill the legal requirements.

This paper discusses three key issues which could enhance language appropriate care: the recording of patient’s preferred language; the Basque language care...

For the purposes of our study, we focused on 2,030 people between the ages of 60 and 84. We included four different language...
