We provide various communication services such as

We can cover all instances where communication services are required such as
  • Medical setting ie. Doctor and hospital appointments
  • Employment settings ie. Job interviews Staff meetings, training sessions
  • Conferences
  • Legal Situations ie. Police and court
All our interpreters are registered with SASLI (Scottish Association of Sign Language Interpreters) either as Fully Qualified or trainee members.

We also have extensive experience in theatre interpreting.

We have an Online Interpreting Service called 'Sign On Screen'

You can use this service from home as long as you have a computer, webcam and a Broadband connection.

This service can be used to contact an interpreter to make phone calls for you such as
  • Making appointments for Doctors, Hospitals, Dentists or Opticians
  • To arrange a Plumber, joiner or electrician
  • Enquiring about or paying bills
  • Phoning hearing family and friends
Other ways the online can be used are
  • If your Doctor has a webcam he could connect to Sign On Screen
  • If you have a webcam at work you could connect and talk to your manager or work colleagues for those 5-10 minute things where getting an interpreter is too expensive.
