After a year of regular friendly matches with both teams winning their fair share of games, parents and teachers decided to put their reputations on the line in full view of fellow parents, teachers, pupils and other visitors at the annual summer fete at St. Gabriel’s School, Newbury in the first-ever Prestige Challenge Cup football match.

A thrilling match saw the parents pull back from 3-0 down at half-time and ultimatley the goal-scoring skills of both teams were evenly-matched. With a final score of 4-4, parents and teachers will share the Cup until the 2010 annual summer fete.

Shawn Khorassani, from the event sponsors – language services company Prestige Network – said: “Parents and teachers were equally determined. At half time, it looked as though the teachers would be victorious but parents pulled back from the brink and proved that they were no soft target, resulting in a well-deserved draw and sharing the first-ever Prestige Challenge Cup.”

Health Care – the Importance of Language Solutions

admin — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 12:47:19 +0000

Thousands of people from different countries have migrated to the UK; often with their loved ones. Some come with family members hoping that the move will give their children a brighter and happier future, while others come with friends exploring the world.

Many immigrants grow up in countries with a different language as a means of communication. Only a lucky few have a good grasp of the English language.

In the Healthcare Sector many immigrant patients have difficulty understanding and speaking English. Often the patient is elderly and either partially or fully dependent on others for their needs. A bridge has to be made to overcome the communication gap.

Communication is the key to a successful recovery. Obviously it is important for the patient to communicate their needs, feelings and concerns for the care givers to ascertain and find an answer to their problems. On the other side the carer needs to express and also keep not only the patient but also the family members informed. This aids recovery and reduces stress on both sides. Also legal and ethical obligations need to be considered. If misinterpretation of prescriptive drugs occurred then this could be fatal to the patient. This is where the number one Public Sector language provider Prestige Network can help. With the aid of professional interpreters, the gap of communication between the patient and the medical professional is successfully bridged.

Prestige Network has a national reach with a local focus. Contact us today as see what we can do for you. Phone: 01635 292 789 ; Email: salesuk@prestigenetwork.com

World Cup Qualifier
Business Development Manager, Colin Dudley, said: “The 2010 World Cup Qualifier against Ukraine is a very important match and the whole team here at Prestige Network are keen football fans. Providing an interpreter for Fabio Capello’s pre-match or half-time pep talk is the very least we can do.”Colin went on to comment: “Fabio is doing a wonderful job and we all want the England team to continue to do well under his management. Providing an interpreter to help communicate any last minute stratagies is our contribution to the side.”

Challenging Game For England?
The Ukraine team is ranked 14th in the world and is undefeated in Group Six, so might be the most challenging game the England squad has faced so far in the qualifiers. The match kicks off at 8.00pm on Wednesday 1 April.

Former Chelsea Boss Offered A Role At Prestige Network
The company offered Jose Mourinho a job back in 2007 after he left Chelsea – they found out he had worked as an interpreter for Bobby Robson, the former England manager, in 1992 before he took on various coaching positions.
