Medical Interpreting Services Company in London, UK
Medical interpreters are key members of modern care teams, delivering a crucial service that can make a huge difference to people involved in medical situations, reducing stress, facilitating understanding, encouraging compassion and improving outcomes. Our specialist medical interpreters work across the medical sector, supporting people during medical appointments, on hospital visits, for professional medical conferences and in medi-legal situations. There are few times where accurate translation is as important as in a medical scenario, where the health and well-being of a patient could depend on clear communication. But patients with limited English in medical situations often rely on family and friends to interpret for them, leading to a risk of misunderstandings or important information not being communicated. A qualified medical interpreter is experienced specifically in medical situations, with a grasp of specialist medical terminology in both languages, plus an appreciation of the need for precision. Our medical interpreters also have a full understanding of medical ethics and standards of practice, such as patient confidentiality and role boundaries for interpreters.
