Medical interpreting has a great deal of importance in Spain, which is mainly due to both the large number of residents from English-speaking countries attended in hospitals and, especially, health tourism (Observatorio Europeo de Sistemas y Políticas de Salud, 2010; Escuela de Organización Industrial y la Secretaría de Estado de Turismo, 2013 b; Instituto Nacional de Estadística, 2015). Consequently, it is essential that interpreters have the tools they need to carry out their work as efficiently and effectively as possible (Hale, 2010; Angelelli, 2015; Postigo Pinazo, 2015), especially in the terminology field, which constitutes one of the biggest difficulties in biomedical interpretation (Roat/Creeze, 2015). Thus, and based on past research (Postigo Pinazo/Lavado Puyol, 2015), a self-designed survey-based study and the evaluation of the existing terminological resources, in this article we will present a new terminological and research tool intended for interpreters, translators and health professionals: TermiMED.
