Accurate interpretation supports communication but never replaces the clinician's explanation or medical judgment.
Prepare terminology in advance
Share the appointment type, diagnosis, medication list and essential documents so terminology can be handled consistently.
Interpret the consultation faithfully
The interpreter should distinguish the patient's questions from the clinician's answers and avoid adding diagnosis or advice.
Organize the next steps
After the visit, clarify written instructions, tests, prescriptions, estimates and follow-up dates without changing their clinical meaning.
Confirm logistics before booking
Check the exact hospital campus, appointment duration, language pair, cancellation terms and any advance document work.
