It’s always advisable to have the most accurate information as possible when it comes to medical documents and records. Medicine is a particularly specialised field, with complex yet precise terminology. In addition, it’s constantly evolving, so up-to-date technical knowledge is required to understand it – let alone translate it accurately.

Why do medical businesses need translation services?

The healthcare industry is reliant on true experts when it comes to translating source documents from one language to another. Businesses such as pharmaceutical companies, manufacturers of medical and surgical equipment, and research organisations need to ensure that their instructions, manuals, marketing brochures and other documents are as accurate and consistent as possible. Their reputations – and often patient lives – will depend on it.

A human eye, backed up by technical medical knowledge, will ensure that medical documents are translated as accurately as possible.

Getting certified medical translation

On occasions, certified medical translation may be required. This effectively stamps the documents with a degree of authority that certain situations may necessitate. An example might be where court proceedings require medical records to be admitted as evidence. Translations of such documents are likely to require certification before they meet the requisite standard.

Here at Brightlines, we’re proud to say that our expert medical translators can not only translate documents to an impeccable standard but can also provide certification as and when required.
