Translators and Interpreters for Luton and Dunstable Hospital
Most hospitals pledge to ensure that there is effective communication between staff, carers and patients. Luton and Dunstable Hospital is no exception and has procedures in place to organise translations, interpreters and disability support should it be necessary.
Sometimes such organisations will ask multilingual staff volunteers to act as interpreters.
You can understand in an emergency why this might happen, but there is always the risk that as a cost-cutting exercise, this might become normal practice in non-emergency situations too. Interpreting work in the health sector is not as tightly regulated as interpreting work in the legal sector. This is surprising given the possible life and death scenarios an interpreter may face when working at a hospital for example. Just being bilingual is not enough to be an interpreter – there are so many other skills and ethical issues to consider. Attend one of our accredited Community Interpreting courses, and you’ll find out what’s really involved.
We regularly provide professional French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Arabic, Bengali, Punjabi, Romanian and Russian translators and interpreters in Luton, Dunstable, Bedford, Leighton Buzzard, Biggleswade and Sandy. Our interpreting and translation services are not restricted to this area by any means. We actually provide translation and interpreting services nationally in over 190 languages...
