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.
For more information and guidance on how to download the service onto your computer, tablet or smartphone visit Interpreter Now.
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.
