AB Thanks to the availability of appropriate technical solutions as well as growingexperience with remote interpreting in various countries, video interpreting has made its way intocommunity interpreting, predominantly in the healthcare sector. It is thought to combineadvantages of face-to-face interpreting (e.g. visibility, eye contact, non-verbal communication,visual information and certain trust-building features) with advantages of distance interpreting(e.g. saving travel time and expenses) in facilitating correct diagnosis and obtaining informedconsent, compliance, treatment success and patient safety. This article describes a videointerpretinginitiative undertaken in the German-speaking DACH area (Germany, Austria,German-speaking part of Switzerland) following the 2015 refugee crisis. It highlights the trainingmeasures introduced to address the needs of patients speaking languages for which interpreters arenot usually available in Germany and Austria, and the subsequent expansion of the initiative intoSwitzerland. It also reports on the views of the course participants on the basis of a questionnairesurvey conducted after training.
