Professional consecutive interpreting services for every setting

Consecutive interpreting suits structured dialogues where each participant speaks in turn. It’s the preferred approach for detailed discussions, allowing everyone to process information, ask questions, and confirm understanding. Because the interpreter renders speech after short pauses, this method enables thoughtful, precise communication without the need for specialist equipment.

In healthcare, consecutive interpreting supports GP and specialist appointments, mental health consultations, and follow-up care. Interpreters with medical terminology expertise help patients and clinicians discuss symptoms, treatment plans, and consent forms clearly—critical for informed decision-making and compliance with NHS standards.

For legal needs, consecutive interpreting is used in solicitor-client meetings, witness interviews, depositions, and certain court or tribunal settings where a paced exchange is essential. Interpreters familiar with UK legal terminology ensure statements, instructions, and questions are conveyed accurately and confidentially.

Businesses rely on consecutive interpreting for negotiations, technical briefings, HR interviews, supplier audits, and site visits. It enables leaders and teams to exchange information clearly, confirm key points, and build rapport with international partners. Remote options via secure phone or video are available for hybrid teams and multinational schedules.

Immigration and public services also benefit. Whether attending a Home Office appointment, a local council meeting, or a university interview, our interpreters facilitate clear communication that respects cultural nuance—minimising misunderstandings and keeping your objectives on track.

Interpreters are carefully vetted for qualifications, experience, and sector knowledge. Many hold UK-recognised credentials such as DPSI (Diploma in Public Service Interpreting), NRPSI registration, or membership of professional bodies like CIOL. For medical, legal, and technical assignments, we match you with specialists experienced in the relevant terminology and context.

Confidentiality is non-negotiable. Kings of Translation follows strict data protection protocols aligned with GDPR, offers NDAs on request, and prepares interpreters with clear briefs to manage sensitive information appropriately. Expect neutrality, accuracy, and professional conduct throughout every engagement.

Our approach is collaborative. Before the session, we request context, glossaries, or prior materials (if available) to align terminology and intent. During the session, interpreters use efficient note-taking techniques to preserve detail and tone. After the session, feedback helps us refine future support—part of the customer care that drives our 98% return rate.

Availability matters. We offer same-day and after-hours bookings when feasible, with on-site or remote delivery to accommodate urgent appointments across time zones. With Kings of Translation, you gain a reliable partner committed to clarity, cultural sensitivity, and measurable outcomes.

Choose the setup that fits your schedule and environment. On-site interpreting is best for complex or high-stakes meetings where body language and in-room dynamics matter. Remote interpreting—by phone or secure video—is ideal for dispersed teams, short notice, or when travel isn’t practical. We support popular platforms including Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Webex.

Booking is streamlined. Share dates, languages, location or platform, and any specialist context. We provide a confirmed interpreter profile, session brief, and contingency contact. For longer meetings, we can schedule breaks or provide team interpreting to maintain consistency and accuracy.
