Last time I saw one he didn’t (or wouldn’t) speak English. If you need a translator, call Craig or Matt at One Way Services.

If you need a lady translator who will stand no messing from them use Michelle on 663 611850 or possibly Natalie on 722448380 all the best,

The urologists insist if you are not fluent in Spanish you have a translator with. My husband gets a call the day before appointments basically if we don’t bring a translator they won’t see him. Think its pretty much the only department that does this.

The one that dealt with my husband in A+E who was a urologist spoke excellent English but with appointments being very hard to get with a urologist it's best to take one because if he throws you out Christ knows when you'll get another slot. I know they are short of them think I heard the hospital has 2 when they should have 6

No, he absolutely doesn't. Don't bother to try to speak Spanish to him. Definitely take a translator. Many of their consultants are wonderful, say no more

We went this afternoon, went prepared with an interpreter and it was a very nice young lady who spoke English. She was most helpful.
