Does your GP understand what you need? Do you feel your voice is being heard? Do you feel you are being treated fairly, when English is not your first language?

If you answered no to the above, you may benefit from the support of a bilingual advocate.

Bilingual Advocacy is a service which can support you in understanding the UK health & social care systems.  It means you’ll be more confident about making the choices you want.

You can become self-reliant and self-sufficient with just a few hours of support from a bilingual advocate.  Your new found independence will carry you through to the future.

Be positive that your GP is not only listening to what your needs are, but understanding them too.

Everyone living in the UK has a right to access health care services regardless of their race, ethnicity or language needs.

We’ll put you in touch with your allocated bilingual advocate who’ll be able to signpost you to supportive services & organisations in your area.  It means you’ll be able to get in touch with other people in your community.

If you’d like to learn English, your advocate can point you in the right direction and give you the information you need to access those all-important classes.

If you or somebody you know may benefit from bilingual advocacy then get in touch today on 01273 473986. Or you can email us at admin@vlslanguages.com
