For clinicians

If you have patients who grew up outside the UK, they might require an interpreter. What are your options if an interpreter fails to show up? Our free tool helps you consider your alternatives and think through the potential repercussions of each one. It is designed for clinicians but may be useful for public service providers working in other fields too.
