Medical interpretation
Portuguese–French medical interpreter in the Algarve
A medical appointment in a language you don't master turns anxiety into misunderstanding. I translate every word between you and your doctor, specialist or hospital team so you understand your diagnosis, treatment options and medication dosage — and so the healthcare professional understands you in turn.
Every medical situation where each word matters.
When to call on me
GP consultation
I translate your symptoms, medical history and your doctor's recommendations.
Specialist appointment
Cardiologist, dermatologist, gynaecologist, ENT, ophthalmologist: I make sure nothing is lost in the specialism.
A&E and hospital admissions
I stay by your side in A&E so you understand the severity, the tests ordered and the course of care.
Informed consent before a procedure
Anaesthesia, surgery, invasive tests: I translate the risks and consent so you sign with full knowledge.
Dental and orthodontic appointments
Quotes, treatment plans, care: I clarify the dentist's technical terms.
Test results and prescriptions
Reports, lab results, dosage: I explain each term so your treatment is followed correctly.
Health does not tolerate approximations.
