Clinical records, read correctly by clinicians
Medical translation
A medical document a clinician, insurer or regulator can act on without double-checking it.
What it is / who it's for
Errors in medical translation aren't stylistic — they're a safety and treatment-accuracy issue. You need to trust that clinical terminology, dosages and diagnoses aren't just linguistically correct, but clinically legible to a professional reader.

Why this needs a specialist
- Errors in medical translation aren't stylistic — a mistranslated dosage or diagnosis is a safety issue, not an awkward sentence.
- We vet for documented subject experience, not just fluency: a translator's medical background is checked before they take clinical work, and every job is independently revised by a second linguist familiar with clinical terminology.
- This is a stated hiring and revision policy, not a medical-translation certification — we describe exactly what we do, rather than badging it with a standard we don't hold.
Turnaround & pricing detail

Medical work is timed for the reviser's clinical familiarity, not typing speed — we'd rather take the extra hour than rush a dosage.
Frequently asked questions
Does the translator actually understand medicine, or just the language?
Both are checked. Translators taking medical work are chosen for documented subject experience, and every translation is independently revised by a second linguist familiar with clinical terminology — a vetting and revision policy, not a claim to hold a medical-translation certification.
Is this confidential?
Yes — handled under GDPR, with a mutual NDA available on request at no cost.
Can you translate a full patient file, not just one report?
For files over 2 000 words, use the quote route so we can scope it properly and keep terminology consistent across every document.
Will the format match my hospital's or insurer's template?
We preserve your document's structure as closely as the file allows. If you need it matched to a specific template, send it with your order and we'll flag anything that can't be replicated exactly.
