COMUNICATION, TERMINOLOGY AND HEALTHCARE

Reflections, resources and experiences in the field of pediatrics

Barcelona, 3rd and 4th October 2024

The HEALTHCOM'24 Communication, Terminology and Healthcare research conference is part of the tradition of the previous editions of 2017, 2019 and 2022, which consists of celebrating an interdisciplinary scientific conference, aimed at researchers and professionals in healthcare, applied linguistics, terminology and communication in this area.

This year, communication and healthcare information for children, healthy or sick, is the central theme of the Conference: reflections, strategies, resources and experiences in the field of pediatrics, from different perspectives. Along these lines, we invite lecturers and speakers, whose work is recognized within the history of science, medicine, nursing, speech therapy, and physiotherapy, to contribute propose elements in communication and culturalization in the field of health, pediatrics and terminology.

The Conference is of interest to all teachers, students and health professionals or professionals who work with the language, communication and discourse of health sciences.

HEALTHCOM'24 is part of the activities derived from the LEXMED project (2022-2025), oriented towards the dynamic construction of terminological meaning in medicine through a school lexicographic corpus.
