There are many different languages spoken by people living in Hampshire, so it is vital that when going to hospital patients and staff are able to understand each other.
Patients whose first language is not English and who will need translation and interpretation services should let the clinic, ward or department know in advance so that these arrangements can be made.
Long gone are the days when being in a clinical trial sparked fear. At Portsmouth Hospitals NHS Trust, patients are given opportunities to take part in clinical trials, in fact when asked, over 90% of patients believe that others should be offered a clinical trial. They are a vital part of learning more about both health and illness, and aim towards making progress for the future.
