Do you need support?
Burney Street practice offers a variety of ways to aid effective communication between the patient and all members of staff.

Interpreting Service
We can arrange interpretation and translation services in person or by phone for patients who do not speak English or need a British Sign Language interpreter. Please let us know if you need this service when booking an appointment.
Interpreters for languages and BSL can be pre-booked to sit in the appointment with you.
For language services a telephone service called Language Line can be used.
