This is a report by Healthwatch Islington. The Integrated Care Board commissioned Healthwatch to look into interpreting services at GPs.
They asked Healthwatch Islington to gather the views of people across North Central London (Barnet, Camden, Enfield, Haringey, and Islington) with language needs (signed or spoken) regarding their experience of interpreting services at their GP surgery. These views and experiences will help inform the commissioning of the new contract for interpreting services and will help shape the future of interpreting services for GP practices across North Central London.
One to one interviews were held with residents and/or their carers. Organisations supporting local communities were also spoken to for insight.
There are recommendations in this report.
