Abstract: Hospital interpreting in Majorca. Working and training conditions. In this paper we seek to describe the work and training of hospital interpreters in Majorca. We focus on their tasks, employment models, training profile and work languages. Our study could serve as the basis for setting up a professional network of interpreters on the island. There are two strands to this project: documentary research and a field study. First, we have contextualised hospital interpreting in its legal framework as a kind of Public Service Interpreting (PSI), with details of demographics and public and private hospitals. Secondly, by means of two online surveys, we have collected data from interpreters and their line managers. We used a methodology combining documentary research, for a bibliographic review and collection of public data, and a field study, consisting of two surveys. Research was hampered by the Covid-19 epidemic. Provisional results point to an increasing demand for interpreting services in healthcare and the need for professional development and consolidation.
