About MR Translation

Why use MR Translation?

  • I have 12+ years' experience in medical/pharmaceutical translation.
  • Michael Robson is a Member of the Institute of Translation and Interpreting (MITI).
  • I don't outsource - all translations are performed by me, Michael Robson. The only exception is if you ask me to provide a revised translation when I will contract a fellow qualified professional to check my work.
  • I am not an agency - this means that I am your personal point of contact.
  • My degree is in Modern Language Studies (French, German and Spanish) from the University of Nottingham. I studied all my source languages to degree level. This can also be an advantage when working with international clinical trials.

Who do I work for?

I work for translation agencies (also known as language service providers (LSPs), private individuals, contract research organisations (CROs), hospitals, research institutes and researchers.

Quality

A professional translator who only works into his native language, with the necessary experience and expertise.
No outsourcing, so you know that I will be the one performing the translation and therefore the style and choice of terminology will be consistent.

Expertise

Previous experience working in-house in a dedicated medical translation team, gaining knowledge and training from a retired doctor and a nurse.
A passion for researching new terms and methods, and continual professional development (CPD).

Confidentiality

Whether you are a private individual who needs your medical records translated, or you work for a company involved in medical research, confidentiality is key. I'm used to signing non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) and have held security clearance/vetting for previous projects. Please do not hesitate to discuss your specific requirements with me.
“Michael always delivers top quality work. We've been working with him on a weekly basis for five years and he is extremely meticulous and professional. Very highly recommended.”

"In January 2018, Michael translated some of my father's medical records from Spanish to English. He had been diagnosed with a rare illness and we were investigating treatment options in other countries, including in the US. Michael's work was exemplary and exactly what we needed. We'll definitely use Michael's services again in the future."
