The translators centre or ‘Tolkencentrum’
If the communication due to language problems does not go well, ask your consultant to phone the ‘Tolkencentrum’ (TVCN) or translators centre. The translator can listen over the phone and ensure a good understanding. Very occasionally a translator can come to the appointment if translations over the telephone are not possible.
This is a free service.
Contact information for TVCN is as follows:
Telephone number: 088 - 255 52 22 (24 hrs per day/ 7 days a week)
