Widgit Health Symbols:

Widgit Health Symbols contain new specific medical symbols as well as pre-made resources including glossaries, flashcards and a pain chart.

This pack contains 600 Widgit Symbols specifically designed for use in healthcare settings. This complements the extensive general health vocabulary in the Widgit Symbol Set.

The resources within this pack contain 1,350 health symbols and 190 psychiatry symbols.

The Widgit Symbol Set consists of over 20,000 symbols that are included with Widgit software programs (e.g. InPrint, Widgit Online).

The aim of the project was to develop symbols to enhance understanding in healthcare settings for children, patients with learning difficulties or autism, and people who have English as an additional language.

This project was developed by Widgit Software in partnership with medical professionals.
