HEALTH PROFESSIONALS > REACHING MORE COMMUNITIES > CANCER IN YOUR LANGUAGECancer in Your Language
We provide an interpreting service called Cancer in Your Language. It is staffed by qualified interpreters who have had training in cancer terminology and who interpret the call between the service user and the specialist information nurses. This means that people can access high quality information and support in their language.
There are 12 “direct to language” numbers for the most commonly spoken community languages.
- Arabic – 0808 800 0130
- Bengali – 0808 800 0131
- Cantonese – 0808 800 0132
- French – 0808 800 0133
- Greek – 0808 800 0134
- Gujarati – 0808 800 0135
- Hindi – 0808 800 0136
- Polish – 0808 800 0137
- Punjabi – 0808 800 0138
- Turkish – 0808 800 0139
- Urdu – 0808 800 0140
- Vietnamese – 0808 800 0141
Most other community languages can also be accessed through the main freephone number, 0808 800 1234, and the nurse who answers then contacts the interpreting service to find an interpreter in the language needed.
Posters and cards which promote this service are available soon from be.macmillan.org.uk
