If English is not your first language and you are not confident speaking or understanding English, it is important that you have someone to translate for you so that you can get the most out of your consultation. This can be a relative or friend but please bear in mind that you may be discussing something of a personal nature so this should be someone that you trust.
If this is not possible we can arrange an interpreter for most languages to attend the consultation with you. Please request this when booking your appointment so it can be arranged in advance.
We can also arrange BSL interpreters for patients who require this.
Please make it clear when you book your appointment that you will need an interpreter so that we can allow the clinician some extra time for your appointment.
