“…Shortage of bilingual healthcare professionals continues to create challenges: improved recruitment and retention strategies 37 are needed. Appropriate interpreter services should be developed in contexts where providing bilingual staff is not feasible, a reality in many rural and remote communities.…”

While there is strong international evidence that language barriers present obstacles to healthcare access, quality and safety, little research has been conducted on the experience of official language minorities in Canada. This multiple method research used on-line and paper-based surveys, combined with semi-structured individual interviews to explore the experience with access to care of Francophone minorities living in four Canadian provinces. The majority of Francophones surveyed reported limited access to French language services and described an environment where low importance is given to addressing language barriers within the health system. Even when services are available, the lack of services in French sometimes results in avoidance of care. Results confirm that many Francophones face similar barriers to care as other language minorities in Canada. Strategies to improve access for official language minorities are discussed.

“…These strategies may include 1) hiring healthcare professionals who are not bilingual but who are incentivized to become bilingual to be granted permanent employment status; 2) recruiting healthcare professionals from communities where Francophones are the majority (Quebec, France, Africa, etc. ); and 3) providing ongoing language training to bilingual healthcare professionals already on staff (Savard et al, 2017).…”

Goal: This study aims to explore how healthcare professionals perceive home-based pediatric cancer care provided in French. Methodology: A qualitative descriptive study was conducted using semi-directed individual interviews of 22 healthcare professionals. A thematic analysis of the transcribed interviews was carried out independently by two members of the research team. Findings: Pediatric cancer care is readily available in French in Quebec, but access to French-language services in Ontario is limited. The possible causes and effects of this lack of access and potential solutions are discussed in this paper. Conclusion: The perceptions compiled in this study should be taken into account to help provide quality home-based pediatric cancer care in French. Keywords: healthcare delivery, oncology, pediatric, home-based care, French language

“…Inspired by these authors, we present our own model developed by the GReFoPS (Savard et al, 2017) to illustrate levers of actions available to OLMCs to promote active offer of services in the official in the system. For example, as infectious and short-term illnesses decrease and chronic diseases increase, we are witnessing a shift in perception toward giving individuals greater responsibility to determine their own health outcomes and lifestyle choices.…”

Before turning to the specific content of the chapters in this volume, it would be beneficial to offer some reflections on the importance of access to health and social services in the official language of the user's choice, and the reasons that lie behind such active offer. These thoughts can be framed by international research work on the vulnerability of people with limited language and literacy skills, which introduced the concepts of health literacy and Limited English Proficiency (LEP)
