Interpreters
If you need an interpreter we can arrange this.
- Please inform reception when booking your appointment
- Tell us the language required
- Do not miss your appointment
We use professional telephone interpreters
This is because:
- You could be embarrassed talking about your condition
- You may not want to provide information to the clinician if your family or friends are listening
- You may not have medical information correctly interpreted for you
- Your family or friend:
- May not give you information if they feel it could be upsetting for you
- Could become upset, especially if they are a child
- May be embarrassed to interpret some words
- May not be able to interpret medical words, condition or treatment
- You may not be able to fully consent to treatment
Sign Language Interpreters
- Please inform reception when booking your appointment
- We may use an iPad (video) for sign language interpreters
