 Specialization Italian to English

I do both verbal interpretation and written translations and have much experience as an interpreter/translator extending back for over 30 years, with a deep understanding of the Italian language and Italian medicine.

My experience as a translator and interpreter dates from the 1970’s, when I  lived and worked in Italy for 10 years, married into an Italian family, becoming fluent in Italian and an expert in the various fields as listed.  

Education I have qualifications both in England and in Italy including

  •  Biochemistry B.Sc. (University College London, 1964)
  •  Medicine M.B.,B.S. (University College Hospital Medical School,   London, 1969)
  •  Medicina Laurea (Naples, 1973)
  •  Specialisation – TB & Chest Diseases (Naples, 1975).


Background & Experience

I was a Medical Practitioner in both England and Italy between 1969 and 1989, but then had to take early retirement from Medicine because of disabilities following a car accident. This has allowed me, on the other hand, to concentrate more on translation works since 1989.

Having been an interpreter and translator whilst living in Italy, both individually and at multinational conferences, I continued to do translation work whilst practicing Medicine in the UK. Now, in my retirement from Medicine, I enjoy translating an ever wider variety of materials, including letters, articles, scientific papers and books, covering many subjects, including archaeology, arts & culture, geography, history, literature, medicine, pharmaceuticals and sciences.
