Additional translation tool supports better patient care
A new translation tool, CardMedic, is being used in our hospitals. It can help patients and staff overcome communication barriers, providing instant access to thousands of clinically interpreted interactions in over 50 languages and multiple accessible formats. This includes sign language, Easy Read, and Read Aloud, helping to create more inclusive and effective care.
The live translation function enables ad-hoc machine translation of conversations between clinicians and patients. Interpreters can still be booked for patients who want in-person interpretation assistance (contact our PALS Team for advice).
Ask a member of staff to find out more about our translation services and the new translation tool.
