Obtaining printed copies of the translations

Limited numbers of printed copies of the translated leaflets will be provided to NHS interpretors for reference.

To provide hard copies for patients, NHS Trusts will need to organise their own print runs. Print ready artwork can be requested from Nic Rosen.

British Sign Language Video

As well as the leaflets, a video has been created showing the leaflet translated into British Sign Language.

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm screening programme

The NHS Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Screening Programme has translated its patient leaflets into Arabic, Bengali, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Farsi, Gujarati, Polish, Portuguese, Punjabi and Urdu.
