English is also used to communicate with medical tourists.  English for Medical Purposes encompasses the language used by a range of Healthcare Professionals. Nurses need to be able to use medical terms and also everyday health terms in order to communicate safely and effectively. The hospital environment can be pressured at times so confidence in using specific healthcare language is essential. 'Cambridge English for Nursing' is complemented by several books written by Virginia Allum in the 'English for Medical Purposes' series which covers areas such as Spelling and Vocabulary, Medication Calculation for Nurses, The Heart, Doctors and Health Care Assistants.
