Medical records & clinical history
Hospital records, referral letters, discharge summaries, consultation notes and treatment histories often depend on chronology and consistent medical terminology across multiple pages.
Translate medical records, reports, certificates and clinical documents with careful control of terminology, medication names, dates, figures, units and document structure. Send us the file and its intended use so the translation can be prepared around the document rather than treated as ordinary text.
If the document is for a hospital, solicitor, insurer, immigration authority, employer, university or overseas body, include any instructions they have given you about certification or format.
A patient history, a laboratory report and a clinical consent form do not rely on the same details. The translation process should reflect what could be misunderstood if terminology, units, dates or document structure are handled inconsistently.
Hospital records, referral letters, discharge summaries, consultation notes and treatment histories often depend on chronology and consistent medical terminology across multiple pages.
Reports containing measurements, units, values and structured results require careful transcription and translation so numerical information is not separated from its clinical context.
Short medical certificates, vaccination records, fitness-related documents and other records may need certified translation when they are being submitted officially.
Participant information, consent forms, questionnaires, study material and related research documents need wording that remains clear while preserving specialist meaning.
Terminology-heavy content can overlap with scientific translation, particularly where research, clinical or technical material needs specialist handling.
Medical translation is not improved by adding more marketing language. It is improved by controlling the details that carry clinical meaning across the document.
Medical terms, procedures and abbreviations are interpreted within the surrounding clinical text rather than translated as isolated vocabulary.
Measurements, dates, figures and units are checked carefully because they can change the meaning of a report if copied or formatted incorrectly.
Patient names, clinician names, institution names and document references are kept consistent across the translation and supporting pages.
If the medical document is for official use, we separate the translation work from any required certification route and prepare the file accordingly.
Include all pages that form part of the record, including reverse pages, attachments or continuation pages when relevant.
Share whether the translation is for personal healthcare, a legal matter, insurance, immigration, employment, education, research or another receiving organisation.
Terminology, medication names, dates, units, figures, headings and identifiers are reviewed in the context of the document.
If the document requires certified translation for its intended use, that is prepared with the final translated file rather than assumed by default.
The same medical report can be used differently depending on who receives it. These routes help separate the type of translation from the submission requirement.
For medical documents that need a certification statement because they are being submitted to an authority, organisation or other official recipient.
Where medical reports or records form part of litigation, a claim, evidence bundle or solicitor file, legal context can affect the translation brief.
Research-heavy or technical healthcare content may need a more specialist terminology approach than a standard patient document.
We confirm the final price after reviewing the language pair, word count, terminology, formatting, certification requirement and deadline.
For suitable healthcare communications, general medical letters and documents with moderate medical terminology.
For specialist reports, clinical records, research material and medical files requiring additional terminology or certification handling.
For suitable short certificates, vaccination records and other official medical documents requiring certified translation.
For multi-page medical records, send the complete file so the quote reflects the actual volume, formatting and terminology rather than an estimate based on page count alone.
Upload file →A report can contain repeated diagnoses, changing medication, clinician names, dated events and laboratory values. The translation needs to keep those elements coherent from the first page to the last.
Medical documents can contain personal and confidential information. Include any file-handling, redaction or security instructions before work begins.
If a clinician, hospital, legal team or organisation already uses preferred terminology or spellings, provide those references so the translation can remain consistent with the wider file.
Send the complete source document, source and target language, deadline, intended use and any instructions from the hospital, solicitor, insurer, authority, employer, university or other receiving organisation.
Yes. We translate medical records, hospital letters, discharge summaries, consultation notes, test results and other patient documents.
No. Certification depends on how the document will be used. A receiving organisation may request certified translation for an official submission, while another medical document may only require professional translation.
They are reviewed in the context of the source document. Medication names, numbers, dates, units and measured values are treated as details requiring careful consistency rather than ordinary running text.
Yes. Tell us the intended use and provide any instructions from the solicitor, insurer or receiving organisation so the translation route can be reviewed before work begins.
Human medical translation starts from £0.12 per word, specialist or certified medical translation from £0.16 per word, and suitable short certified medical documents from £35 per page. Final pricing depends on the file, language pair, complexity, formatting, certification route and deadline.
We’ll review the document type, terminology, language pair, intended use and any certification instructions, then confirm the appropriate service and price.
