The Project
This project was developed by Widgit Software in partnership with medical professionals.
Special thanks to South Warwickshire NHS Foundation Trust, Warwickshire Integrated Disability Service, Leeds Community Healthcare NHS Trust and Sheffield Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.
The aim of the project was to develop symbols to enhance understanding in healthcare settings for children, patients with learning difficulties or autism, and people who have English as an additional language.
Contents
Widgit Health Symbols contain new specific medical symbols as well as pre-made resources including glossaries, flashcards and a pain chart.
This pack contains 600 Widgit Symbols specifically designed for use in healthcare settings. This complements the extensive general health vocabulary in the Widgit Symbol Set.
The resources within this pack contain 1,350 health symbols and 190 psychiatry symbols.
The Widgit Symbol Set consists of over 100,000 symbols that are included with Widgit software programs (e.g. InPrint, Widgit Online).
Glossary
The glossary can be used as a visual reference guide for the Widgit Health Vocabulary. It may be helpful in searching for the correct symbol to include in your own documents. There is a separate glossary for the psychiatry vocabulary.
Flashcards
The Widgit Health vocabulary are provided as editable flashcards. These can be used in variety of settings.
Pain Chart
The Pain Chart can be used to help patients express a level of pain when finding it difficult to explain in words.
