    Medical Report Translation

    Medical reports carry clinical shorthand that a caseworker, insurer or court cannot be expected to interpret. The translation expands abbreviations, keeps diagnoses and dates exactly as recorded, and preserves the structure of the report so the reader can follow the clinical sequence.

    What the Translation Covers

    • Full Report: History, examination findings, diagnosis, treatment and follow-up as recorded.

    • Clinical Terminology: Abbreviations and local terms expanded into standard English medical usage.

    • Clinician Details: Names, roles, departments and registration details exactly as shown.

    • Certification Page: the translator's name, credentials, date and a signed statement of accuracy for medical reports.

    Before You Order

    Medical files are sensitive, and how they will be used affects certification.

    • Purpose: Visa, insurance, court or employer files each need slightly different supporting documents.

    • Confidentiality: Files are handled under NDA and GDPR, with access limited to the project manager and translator.

    • Apostille or Notarisation: Only needed if the report is also used outside the UK.

    Send every page, including discharge summaries and test results referenced in the report.

    Prices are per document and start at £40 — see what a translation costs.

    Knowledge Base

    Frequently asked questions

    DHCTranslations translates medical reports, clinical letters and hospital records into English for UKVI, insurers, courts and employers. Reports are translated in full and certified, and returned as a PDF with same-day completion available when the order and cleared payment are confirmed before 4pm on a working day.

    Medical report translation starts at £40 per document, with longer reports priced from £0.09 per word after 400 words. Notarisation on medical reports orders is quoted separately, because the fee depends on the document and the notary's availability.

    Most reports are returned the same day when the order and cleared payment are confirmed before 4pm on a working day, which covers urgent visa, insurance or court deadlines. A long clinical report is given a delivery date before payment.

    Yes. The translation includes the translator credentials, date and a signed statement of accuracy, which is the format UK Visas and Immigration expects for medical evidence.

    Yes. Reports, discharge summaries and treatment invoices are translated for insurers and loss adjusters, with clinical terms explained so the claim can be assessed without a follow-up.

    Reports are handled under NDA and GDPR, with access limited to the named project manager and the assigned translator. Records are uploaded through the secure portal and deleted after the project if you ask.

    No. UKVI, insurers and courts require an independent translation. Self-translations, or translations by family members, are not accepted for medical reports.

    No. Clear scans or photographs of every page are enough, including test results and discharge summaries. Your medical reports originals stay with you, and the certified translation comes back as a PDF.

    Yes. Abbreviations, local drug names and department shorthand are expanded into standard English medical usage, with the original term kept where a literal equivalent would be misleading.

    Usually not for UK use. An FCDO Apostille or notarisation is only needed when the report is used abroad or another authority asks for legalisation.
