“…When acting as patient empowerers, healthcare interpreters elaborate on comments to improve understanding of medical procedures (Hsieh, 2013), whilst patient advocacy involves activities seeking the patient's best interests, such as specifying their needs and preferences (Krystallidou et al, 2017), supervising their level of health literacy (Espinoza Suarez et al 2020), or providing emotional support (Lara-Otero et al, 2019). In addition, interpreters serve as representatives for the public service (Parrilla Gómez, 2019) and may collaborate with clinicians by assisting them in historytaking (Davitti, 2019), attempting to (re)direct the patient's responses towards the session's goal (Mirza et al, 2017) or exploring ambiguous answers (Baraldi and Gavioli, 2018).…”

Researchers have long been preoccupied with the issue of role in healthcare interpreting. However, most studies approach this construct in the course of medical consultations, leaving somewhat unattended other spaces and activities in which interpreters also participate. This paper aims to contribute to a better understanding of the healthcare interpreters’ role in these areas. Drawing on participant observation, I examined the roles played by five interpreters at a hospital in Madrid for five months in activities different to provider-patient interactions (e.g. waiting with patients). Seven key roles were identified outside medical consultations: intercultural and moral mediator, patient advocate, institutional navigator, healthcare ambassador, information miner and companion/conversation partner. A key finding is that most events in which interpreters participate occur outside medical consultations, which makes it essential to shift the attention to the roles played in these alternative spaces. Understanding the role of healthcare interpreters in different activities within the realm of healthcare scenarios is essential to construct an accurate vision of what being just an interpreter really means.
