New To The NHS?
Advice to foreigners who require treatment in the UK can be obtained by visiting the NHS website
This website can be translated into various languages. Click the "Translate this page" link in the top right corner.
If patients are getting into difficulties with the new changes to benefits etc there is a helpline called EU Welcome for those who cannot understand or speak much English. They can put people in touch with their own language help groups & provide advice.

Interpreters
We can arrange a telephone interpreter if you are concerned that you may not be able to understand English during your consultation. Please inform the reception staff on arrival that you require an interpreter. Most languages are available but occasionally it may not be possible to get the interpreter on line that you need. Please be patient as it does take time to contact the interpreters.
The interpreters that we use are confidential.
