This webinar-style session will provide a comprehensive exploration of essential anatomical concepts tailored to the needs of communication professionals. We play a crucial role in conveying accurate information, and a solid understanding of human anatomy is indispensable for interpreting medical and anatomical terminology effectively.

This interactive session delves into the fundamental structures and functions of the human body, focusing on areas relevant to interpreters, including the musculoskeletal system, sensory organs, and key anatomical terminology. Participants will gain insights into the mechanics of movement, the sensory perception process, and how to accurately convey complex anatomical concepts in sign language.

Led by Anatomical Demonstrator, Amy Manson, from the University of Liverpool, the session combines theoretical knowledge with practical applications. By the end of this session, delegates will be equipped with a solid foundation in human anatomy, empowering them to provide more accurate and contextually relevant interpretations in medical and anatomical contexts.
