Translating services

All NHS organisations provide translation services.

NHS Swindon has access to the Language Line Services.  This enables us to communicate effectively with people of all nationalities. 

How do I access the translation services?

If you are visiting Patient Advice Liasion Service (PALS) to make a complaint or compliment and if english is your second language, you can request the services of a translator.  This may be by face-to-face or by telephone.  All of it is designed to help you. 

Sign language translation

NHS Swindon also provides the facility to use a signer for the British Sign Language.  For more information about the translation services or sign language translator, you can contact PALS by email: palscomments@swindon-pct.nhs.uk.

 

If english is not your native language, please read this document.
