Frequently asked questions

I need an interpreter for my appointment. How can I book?

Booking an interpreter can be as easy as picking up the phone. Contact our customer service team now to discuss your needs and we can connect you with the right service as soon as possible.

Can you translate my patient information leaflet?

We can offer translations of any written medical information, from information leaflets to appointment letters. We have decades of experience working in the healthcare sector, and employ specialist linguists to accurately translate complex and sensitive content. 

We also offer accessibility and ancillary services such as BSL, Easy Read, and Braille to meet all of your accessibility needs.

 
How much notice do I need to give to book an interpreter?

With Wordskii Live, you are able to pre-book or connect to an interpreter on-demand. We are able to help you access an interpreter both in advance of a meeting or in last-minute circumstances where you need to connect with an interpreter immediately. 

While it can depend on the language in question, in many cases, we will be able to provide you with an interpreter with little to no notice.

Can you help me book a BSL interpreter?

We can arrange a full range of interpreting services, simply get in touch with our customer service team to discuss your needs and we’ll walk you through the process from start to finish.

What experience do your interpreters have?

All of our linguists receive continuous training from our in-house training academy, in addition to their wider career experience. We have decades of experience working in the healthcare sector, and allocate our linguists to jobs based on their given experience within the relevant sector. 

This means you can always be assured that your linguist will understand the relevant terminology and practices for your sector.

How can I send patient information to you such as the service users name etc securely?

We have a dedicated secure form where you can send private information to us with confidence.
