Description
Language is very important to providing optimal patient care. Interpreters provide a service for patients, carers and clinicians to help them understand each other when they do not speak the same language. Working with language interpreters and translators can positively impact on health outcomes, improve patient experience and reduce communication barriers between practitioner and patient. It has been shown to improve safety with respect to diagnosis and prescription. The NHS is committed to providing high quality, equitable, effective healthcare services that are responsive to all patients' needs.
