Multilingual Staff - Chequerfield Pharmacy, Pontefract
How language barriers affect the healthcare sector:
With the UK being a multi-cultural society, languages and dialects aren’t always the same. This can make communication very difficult. Language barriers can often be problematic when attempting to determine diagnosis and negotiating effective treatments between a patient and a healthcare practitioner.
What can multilingual staff offer the local community?
Some of our staff can communicate in two or more languages. This is very important for building a relationship between the patient and pharmacy and aids decision making when it comes to diagnosis and choice of treatment.
Multilingual staff at Chequerfield Pharmacy, Pontefract
Our professional multilingual staff will offer advice and support on a range of topics – from minor ailments to repeat prescriptions – in a language that can be understood by the patient.

Simply cannot express my gratitude for this place and the staff that work here. It’s such a friendly place, the staff are always eager to help and go above and beyond for you. It’s always nice to be greeted with a friendly smile but in these testing times it seems so much more important. Iv collected my mother’s prescriptions from here for a while now after moving from another pharmacy and they’re always ready promptly without any trouble, it’s always nice to have a chat and feel like a valued customer, great work team. And thank you for all your hard work it certainly doesn’t go unnoticed in the community.
