Private Polish Interpretation and Translation Service

Call us today!

With over 40 years of experience in the Medical field and 8 years freelance Community Interpretation and Translation

My name is John Cipko and I am an experienced professional certified interpreter and translator communicating in Polish and English, with an active interest in the Medical field, Court and Police. I was born, studied, and continue to work in Great Britain for nearly 40 years and within that time have managed to change professions and establish a continuing career in Interpreting and Translation- leading me to launch P.P.I.T.S - Polish Interpreting and Translation Service with my wife Agnieszka.
I am a fully qualified interpreter with a Level 6 Diploma in Community Interpreting from the International School of Linguists and a Fellowship form the Institute of Biomedical Scientists. I also hold a Post Graduate Diploma in Biomedical Science and a Bsc ( Hons) in Applied Biology. My wife acts as a secretary, and holds both a Bsc (Hons) and Msc in Theological Studies from Poland. Please feel free to view my CV.
We launched P.P.I.T.S with my wife Agnieszka, to cater to all Polish clients from the EU.From the humblest to the very top of Professions, we aim to provide what we think is a reasonably priced package, covering Face to Face Interpretation, Sight Translation (Verbal), Small Translations and Telephone Interpreting- both at the client’s home, or specified destination.
I have over 8,000 hours of interpreting experience. I carry out all assignments with absolute commitment to the Code of Conduct for Professional Interpreters, with particular attention to accuracy, impartiality and confidentiality. An up-to-date Enhanced Criminal Record Certificate and a Professional Indemnity Insurance Certificate are available on request.
Prior to commencing any assignment, I ask my clients to become familiar with Terms and Conditions. Privacy Policy and Disclaimer, which I ask to sign upon completion.

FACE TO FACE INTERPRETATION

I specialise in both Community and Public Service Interpreting using the following techniques: • Consecutive Interpreting • Simultaneous Interpreting- including whispered. • Telephone and Video Interpretation • Sight Translation- both written and verbal. Consecutive interpretation is form of verbal communication. It takes place when the person with limited English proficiency speaks, and is followed by the interpreter’s conversion of what was said to the English speaker. During these sessions, there are pauses or breaks between sentences when each party is speaking. In other words, the interpreter listens then interprets. Simultaneous interpretation is a popular method of interpreting that differs from that of consecutive interpretation. Simultaneous interpreters convert what is said in real-time. There are no pauses in conversation. This type of interpretation is suited for large-scale events and situations where a pause in conversation is not beneficial. At present 98% of my work takes the form of Consecutive Interpreting, with experiences in: • Hospitals- GP’S and Community Health • Social Services • Education • Local councils and housing • Benefit Assessments • Adult and Child Mental Health • Child Development • Insurance Companies • Police and Courts Simultaneous Interpreting at present has only been used in: • Police and Courts • Some Medical reviews

SIGHT TRANSLATION - VERBAL AND WRITTEN

Sight translation can be defined as the reading of a text by the interpreter from the source language into the target language, simultaneously, in a manner in which the content of the document can be easily understood by the audience, both verbally and by use of text. Presently committed to providing a gist of the text verbally or a small written document. For more complex translations I can provide you with the services of a certified translator. Pending time sight translations I usually carry out at Health and Medical reviews, and sometimes Court/Insurance companies.

TELEPHONE AND VIDEO INTERPRETATION

Telephone interpreting is a service that connects human interpreters via telephone to individuals who wish to speak to each other but do not share a common language. The telephone interpreter converts the spoken language from one language to another, enabling listeners and speakers to understand each other. Interpretation over the telephone most often takes place in consecutive mode, which means that the interpreter waits until the speaker finishes an utterance before rendering the interpretation into the other language. Video remote interpreting (VRI) is a video telecommunication service that uses devices such as web cameras or videophones to provide sign language or spoken language services. This is done through a remote or offsite interpreter, in order to communicate with persons with whom there is a communication barrier. It is similar to a slightly different technology called video relay service, where the parties are each located in different places. My experiences have been limited to using this mode in Medical Surgeries, and Magistrates Court.

Dear Ilona John Cipko has been working as a volunteer interpreter at the Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust since 1st September 2014. On average, to start with, he has been doing 5-10 hours a week and in the last few months even more. It is fair to say that since his inception to an In-House Polish Interpreting Service has done close to 730 hours interpreting. If you include work John had done in other agencies this is now close to 850 hours. John’s contribution to the Trust efficiency programme has been significant. Our volunteering team has been recommended for the award for the best volunteering team although the final results are not published as yet. During his time working for NUH, I always found John punctual, responsive, and keen to learn from his mistakes, indeed striving for excellence. I had a lot of good feedback pertaining to John’s performance from clinicians and patients alike. Indeed many of them requested John’s services for follow up appointments. In the first three months, I also had one complaint concerning John’s code of conduct. The clinician perceived John’s familiarity with the female patient as inappropriate behaviour. John had tried to demonstrate a female patient an exercise advised by physiotherapist and in the process, inadvertently touched her leg. It is very important to stress that the patient had not complained however but the clinician felt it was not right. We had a training session since then concerning interpreters’ code of conduct and the importance of strict adherence to the scope of interpreting. We have also addressed advocacy style and confidentiality. I have met with John on numerous occasions to discuss his reflections on assignments and each time found John inquisitive and receptive to advice given. In April 2015 he made a decision to undertake formal ISL course and it is pleasure to observe him progressing further and higher. It is fair to say that John’s command of English is better than Polish however as his family life language is Polish; I believe he is continuously improving his Polish common expressions, medical terminology Polish equivalents and grammar to the huge benefit of his interpreting role. John is popular with his clients and in the NUH interpreting society. Yours sincerely, Renata Towlson Interpreting & Translation Project and Contract Manager Human Resources
Nottingham University Hopitals Performance Review 1

Performance overview November 2015- January 2017 John Cipko provides interpreting services to NUH consistently at a good level of customer satisfaction. In the stated above period there were no complaints pertaining to John’s work at all. I have indeed received a positive feedback. John is continuously looking to widen his experience and expertise. He is not only providing linguistic support to health care market but also to educational organisations’ clients. It is a requirement that interpreters working for Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust keep up to date with interpreting industry standards and developments and ensure personal application. John Cipko is a Level 3 certified community interpreter and as such do not require my supervision. However, whenever he wishes to discuss an interpreting case, I am more than happy to make time for him. Yours sincerely, Renata Towlson (PhD, CIL4) Interpreting & Translation Manager Human Resources
