111 Service for deaf and hard of hearing
InterpreterNow is a service that enables deaf (and hearing) British Sign Language [BSL] users to communicate with hearing people via an online BSL interpreter. InterpreterNow can be accessed using a computer, or via the InterpreterNow app onto your smartphone or tablet.
Once you have contacted the InterpreterNow service, the interpreter will contact us by telephone and relay your the conversation with a member of our team e.g. a Nurse Advisor or a Health Information Adviser, depending on what the problem is. You will be asked a series of questions to assess your needs and then will be provided with the healthcare advice/information you need or directed to the local service that can help you best. The service is currently being piloted in 111 Wales areas and is available 7 days a week, between 8.00am & midnight.

If you are deaf or hard of hearing and don’t use BSL or have access to a computer, tablet or smartphone, you can still contact 111 via Next Generation Text/Text Relay (previously known as Type Talk) by dialling 18001 111.
