Interpretation and translation

To improve access to our services, NHS Stockport Clinical Commissioning Group has established interpretation and translation services for patients whose first language is not English and those who need additional communication support.

Foreign language and British Sign Language interpretation is available free for charge for all medical appointments. Interpretation should be arranged when you book your healthcare appointment.
