Medical interpreting
Clear and accurate communication in healthcare environments
Healthcare does not allow for misunderstandings. If you need a professional interpreter for medical consultations, treatments or healthcare procedures in Italian, Spanish or English, you have come to the right place. I am Giampaolo Sponza, a professional interpreter specialising in the medical and hospital field, with over 28 years of experience. I ensure that patients, doctors and healthcare staff understand each other without language barriers, with confidentiality, empathy and terminological accuracy.
What is medical interpreting?
Medical interpreting implieas an accurate and culturally appropriate translation of the dialogue between healthcare professionals and patients who do not share a common language. It is essential in situations where quick decisions need to be made, diagnoses explained, informed consent forms signed or treatment instructions followed. More than just translating, it is about ensuring that each party understands exactly what the other is trying to say, in a sensitive context where health or life is at stake.
Languages offered: Italian, Spanish, and English
I work exclusively in the following language pairs:
- Italian ⇄ Spanish
- Italian ⇄ English
This specialisation allows me to work with terminological precision and intercultural understanding in all three languages, even in complex clinical situations.
Where is medical interpreting required?
I provide interpreting services in a wide range of healthcare settings:
- Public hospitals and private clinics
- Specialist medical consultations
- Emergency and hospital admissions
- Psychological therapies and rehabilitation
- Health insurance or mutual insurance procedures
- Medical examinations in work or training contexts
- Accompaniment during diagnostic examinations
I work at medical centres, but also in homes and home care services when necessary.
