The role of interpreting in health and social care

We have witnessed how the private and public healthcare sectors have changed over the past two decades; we’ve adapted our language services to offer the best possible support. As the multicultural population in the UK has grown, so has the NHS’ demand for reliable health and social care interpreting services.

Access to adequate healthcare is a basic human right and in the UK, all members of the population should have seamless access to public services. That’s where our medical interpretation services come in.

Our services ensure patients and clients of all backgrounds can access the health and social care they need. No matter whether you’re a social worker, GP or a doctor, our linguists are here to assist you in giving your patients the best possible experience.

Great VFM, rapid turnaround, flexible, friendly and customer focussed. Have used them on key NHS projects across more than 20 different languages and will do so again. Strongly recommended.

Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust
"The interpreters Dals sends to us are always extremely polite and pleasant. They are very skilled in communicating what is often very complicated and technical medical terminology to our patients. They take the time to make sure that they have correctly understood what needs to be said before they pass the information on to the patient."
