Outpatient Consultations with English Speaking Practitioners

The Hertford British Hospital offers consultations, not only by English speaking staff, but also by Doctors, nurses and midwifes actually trained in the United Kingdom. UK trained personnel have English as their mother tongue, and speak fluent French, enabling them to act as your interface with the French health service.

General Practice

An English-speaking General Practitioner is available for consultation every day by appointment. General Practice follows the British system of a Doctor acting as a 'gate keeper', thereby monitoring specialist referrals and continuing general health care for each individual patient. British trained General Practitioners are qualified to treat both children and adults in a wide variety of clinical areas.

Maternity

An English speaking Doctor is available weekly to provide antenatal care in the second and third trimester of pregnancy. Patients can book their confinements and receive information in English.

The Hospital provides antenatal classes in English by British and Irish trained midwives with a long experience of working within both systems. This facility has been developed to meet the needs of an increasing number of English speaking women choosing to deliver at the Hertford British Hospital.

Paediatrics

Following recent in recent upgrading of the Hertford's Maternity service unit from a Level 1 service to a Level IIA service, and the opening of new Paediatric and Neonatal units, the hospital is happy to announce the opening of the Paediatric consultation service. This service will provide English speaking Doctors and nurses and will allow the care of Anglophone children in a language they understand. Obviously the correct diagnosis of medical issues for children is more difficult than for adults especially if the language used is not familiar to them.
The service will also provide continuous interaction with the GP and Maternity services and, therefore, communication will be maintained throughout the three departments.
