An inspiring opening speech by Sue Colbeck at HCSA Manchester 2026.
The CEO and team from Absolute Interpreting & Translations Ltd were proud to exchange knowledge and experiences with NHS leaders, healthcare professionals, CEOs and procurement specialists, focusing on innovation, sustainable healthcare solutions, cost savings, improved patient experience and the future of accessible communication services across the NHS.
Collaborating together to shape smarter, more sustainable and patient-centred healthcare services for the future.

Healthcare systems across the NHS are under unprecedented pressure. Every innovation must therefore do three things at once: improve patient experience, support frontline staff, and deliver measurable value for public money.
That is exactly why we are proud to see more Aivi-on-Wheels™ units now deployed at County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust and three additional NHS Trusts across County Durham.
This is not simply another tablet-based interpreting solution.
Aivi-on-Wheels™ is a purpose-built clinical communication device designed to recreate the face-to-face interpreter experience through high-definition video, large display, mobility and instant connectivity. With a single touch of a button, NHS staff can connect patients to professionally qualified interpreters in 400+ languages within seconds.
The results are already clear:
• Faster access to interpreters at the point of care
• Significant reductions in reliance on costly face-to-face bookings
• Immediate language support during ward rounds, triage and discharge conversations
• Reduced administrative burden on clinical staff
• Improved accessibility for vulnerable and non-English speaking patients
From a procurement and value-based commissioning perspective, the impact is equally important. Trusts are achieving tangible cost savings, while ensuring compliance with equality and accessibility duties and improving operational efficiency.
For patients, the difference is transformative. Conversations about symptoms, treatment plans, medication and consent are no longer delayed or compromised by language barriers. Patients can communicate clearly, confidently and with dignity.
For NHS staff, it removes the frustration of waiting for language support and enables safe, efficient clinical decision-making in real time.
And importantly, because Aivi-on-Wheels™ is not a small handheld tablet, it provides the visual presence, audio clarity and usability required in clinical environments to truly replicate the reassurance of having an interpreter in the room.
This is innovation that works in practice:
Better patient experience.
Reduced operational cost.
Improved accessibility.
Less pressure on already stretched NHS teams.
Proud to support NHS Trusts across County Durham in modernising language access and delivering smarter, patient-centred care.

A great moment at the HCSA annual conference with senior and respected members of the HCSA, Matthew Swindells President, Mark Roscrow MBE and Kimberly Kay, and our CEO, Emal Haidari where he was asked to take a photo with our newest innovation - Absolute LinguaLens™ glasses. The pair in the photo was the holiday edition:) , but the NHS-ready versions come in clinical, transparent designs and allow healthcare professionals to connect to medically qualified interpreters with a simple voice command.
We cannot be happier than
to keep driving accessibility, efficiency, and better patient outcomes across the NHS.

Today marks another important milestone in our mission to transform accessibility, patient experience and communication across the NHS and wider public sector. I’ve just recorded a new video showcasing two of our most innovative solutions — Aivi-on-Wheels™, our portable human-powered interpreting hub, and the Absolute Lingual Lens™, our award-winning real-time translation and communication technology designed to remove barriers instantly and safely.
For years, frontline staff have shared their concerns: delays, reliance on risky or unreliable tools, rising costs, and the clinical risks caused by communication barriers. At Absolute Interpreting and Translations, our belief has always been that technology should empower people, not replace them. This is why Aivi-on-Wheels™ connects users to medically experienced human interpreters within 30 seconds, and why the Lingual Lens supports staff with clear, safeguarding-appropriate, accurate communication that strengthens trust and improves outcomes.
These innovations were inspired by the real experiences of NHS teams, ICB leaders, safeguarding specialists and patients themselves. From GP practices and emergency departments to community services and mental health settings, the impact is already clear: improved safety, better outcomes, cost savings, and a more inclusive, dignified patient experience.
Our commitment remains the same — real innovation, real impact, real humanity. I look forward to sharing the full video shortly. If you work in healthcare, social care, local government or any environment where communication is critical, I genuinely believe this will be worth your time. The future of inclusive, human-centred communication is here — and it is powerful.
