Particularly during the holiday season travellers abroad sometimes have the misfortune to fall ill. They may consult a physician and may even be admitted to hospital. On return home they may supply a discharge letter or clinical notes in a foreign language to a local doctor.

Should a translation into English be required from any of the above languages, it may be of help to send an anonymised copy of the original to Dr. Sean Ferguson (GMC Full Registration Number 2485964) who has qualifications in Modern Languages including the post-graduate Diploma in Translation from the Chartered Institute of Linguists in London, an accrediting body for translators worldwide.

I also translate articles from medical journals, papers from clinical trials,patient information leaflets and summaries of product characteristics.
