Medical advances shouldn’t be limited by language. That’s why Marshall Medical Translation offers translation of medical texts from Spanish to English. All translations are done by Jane Marshall, a British-trained doctor, turned translator.

I studied medicine at Glasgow University, in Scotland. Following graduation, I completed foundation years 1 and 2 (basic British postgraduate medical training) in Devon, England. I worked in haematology/oncology, emergency admissions, general surgery, medical assessment, neurosurgery/neurology, and trauma & orthopaedics.

I subsequently worked in New Zealand, in various surgical specialties, including plastic surgery, orthopaedics, and general surgery. However, I decided to leave clinical medicine in 2012, to pursue my love of languages, and began teaching English to medical and science students in Barcelona. Soon after that I began translating medical texts, and I haven’t looked back!

When I started university, we were told that the terminology we would learn over the coming years would be equivalent to learning a second language, and working in hospitals, I used that terminology on a daily basis. It is that academic and practical experience that helps me understand the medical texts I translate in greater depth. That means that you can be confident you´ll be getting an accurate, appopriate translation, written by a native British doctor.

I take my work seriously, and work with care, reading around those medical specialties I have not had the opportunity to work in, and aim to deliver the high professional standard I would expect in clinical medicine, applied to languages.
