Be careful with translated health information

If you are not sure what a page means, call us on 01708 552 072 and ask for an interpreter. Our Talk to us helper only works in English.

Get an interpreter at the surgery

If English is not your first language, we can arrange an interpreter for your appointment. It is free. Tell us when you book, and tell us which language you need.

We use the Language Shop to arrange interpreters by phone or in person. We can also arrange a British Sign Language (BSL) interpreter through the Language Shop. Tell us when you book.

You can bring a friend or relative to help you. But please do not rely on a child to interpret for you. An interpreter makes sure that you and the doctor understand each other.
