Workplace globalisation unearths intercultural issues everywhere. As a result, employers and employees in local businesses, in export, or in multinationals need to be ‘culturally aware’. The economic demand for intercultural skills comes from business, and a developing body of business research into these skills is emerging. Much expertise is also located in university language, linguistic and education departments. In practice business & language and education & linguistics, rarely intersect and valuable opportunities for sharing findings and methodologies are missed.

As we move into an information age there are many opportunities to share and integrate data from many different sources, in order to provide holistic care. A key focus of this is the provision of pre-emptive diagnosis, which aims to predict illness and put in place care plans to improve the provision of health and social care. This Symposium looks at the methods which could be used to effectively use data to improve care, while protecting the rights of the citizen.
