Medical and Pharmaceutical Translation

Completed by qualified medical and pharmaceutical translators

When we think of healthcare here in the UK, we automatically think of the NHS – and with good reason.  However, the healthcare sector is huge and we have an amazing team of multilingual translators covering more than 200 languages able to handle whatever the sector needs both here and internationally.

Our linguists work in the following medical and pharmaceutical sectors:

• Hospitals
• GP surgeries
• Dentistry
• Health clinics
• Care homes
• Physiotherapy, radiography, occupational health
• Nutrition and diet
• Optometry
• Mental health
• Pharmaceutical companies
• Medical instruments and equipment
• Voluntary and non-profit organisations
• Marketing and research companies
• Private individuals
• Solicitors

As well as providing top quality translations when required, our linguistic teams also provide medical and pharmaceutical audiovisual translation and transcription services, face-to-face onsite interpreting, telephone interpreting (available 24/7 365 days of the year), subtitling and voiceovers for medical video material.

Our clients trust us as their language-support partner.  Being able to work and communicate in multiple languages improves patient satisfaction, means better health outcomes as the risk of misunderstanding is reduced and increased operational efficiency as communication barriers are swept away.

Who are our medical and pharmaceutical translators?

All medical translation work is conducted by highly qualified translators. We ensure that each individual project is undertaken by the most suitable translator whose educational and professional background matches the project in hand.

The performance of our translators is monitored based against key performance criteria: accuracy, consistency, knowledge of subject terminology, formatting and completeness. They are re-evaluated regularly to ensure the high standards are maintained.

With the exception of linguists covering languages with rare status, as a minimum, our translators:

• must have a relevant first degree, postgraduate qualification or corresponding qualification
• are able to demonstrate a number of years full time work in an appropriate field.

We assign a project manager to every assignment to ensure the project runs smoothly and is delivered on time and within budget.
