Good afternoon everybody It is the first time that I have posted something here, so I do apologize if the topic has been discussed before. I have a simple question actually, I have a MA in conference interpreting (Italian University) with main language combination ENIT. I have also worked in the past 2 years as healthcare interpreter in Italy, both in the public and private sector. Would my MA and my experience be enough to entitle to work as healthcare interpreter in the UK or do I absolutely need the level 6 DPSI - health?
Thanks a lot for your time and consideration. I hope to get to know many of you in the next months! Serena ▲ Collapse

Your MA and Experience as Medical Interpreter count!

Hi
Certainly, your experiences and your academic studies will be enough, you might need to take some short-term courses to become familiar with the system in the UK. However, working for healthcare does not require a DPSI but a Level 3 Community Interpreting Qualifications. I hope that helps a bit.
