Interpreting and translation

Interpreting and translation services are provided by the NHS.

It is very important that you understand and are fully involved in making decisions about your care and treatment.

Please ask ward staff if you need help with:

• Easy Read or different format versions of patient information
• language interpreting
• British Sign Language
• communication assistance for people who are deaf.

To find out if assistance has been booked, please contact the department where you are being seen.

Sign language

InterpretersLive! enables sign language users to call into and be called by the Trust. Messages or information can be relayed through an interpreter visible to the sign language user.

This service can also be used for telephone consultations and appointments, where appropriate.
