Community interpreting in medical, insurance‑medicine and corporate settings
Community interpreting is essential when individuals with limited proficiency in the local language must fully understand complex information in medical, insurance‑medicine or corporate settings.
Because these encounters are often shaped by structural asymmetries — for example in medical consultations, disability assessments (IV) or employee reviews — our professional interpreters ensure that language barriers never lead to misunderstandings.
We deliver precise, neutral and culturally sensitive interpretations, providing the reliable foundation needed for accurate diagnoses, sound expert reports and clear corporate communication.
Our core areas of expertise
We specialise in areas where professional precision, strict neutrality and formal requirements are of the highest priority. We employ liaison interpreting techniques, where the interpreter translates segments of speech sequentially, ensuring complete accuracy.

We provide precise and neutral linguistic support in insurance‑medicine and specialised medical encounters, working with assessment centres, medical practices and specialised medical institutes across Switzerland.

- Medical clarifications for accident or daily sickness allowance insurance
- Consultations with medical experts and independent evaluators
- Work capacity and employability assessments
- Diagnostic and therapeutic consultations
- Occupational health examinations

Corporate communication and human resources (HR)
We provide clear and neutral linguistic support in corporate and HR settings, working with Swiss companies, HR departments and management teams to ensure effective communication in sensitive workplace interactions.
- HR meetings and employee appraisals
