A calmer way to read medical letters

Understand your medical letter in plain English

Upload a GP, hospital, consultant, discharge, scan or test-result letter. Clarity Companion turns difficult wording into a clear, gentle explanation you can read, listen to and share.

Explanation, not diagnosis. We help you understand the document. We do not give medical advice or replace your healthcare professional.

A small example

Clearer wording, with the meaning kept intact

Medical writing is often designed for professionals, not for the person receiving it. We separate the message into manageable parts without telling you what decision to make.

  • Key message first
  • Medical words explained in context
  • Dates and actions easy to scan
  • Questions you can take to your care team
Original wording

“A follow-up outpatient appointment will be arranged in 12 weeks. Please continue current management in the interim.”

In plain English

The clinic plans to see you again in about 12 weeks. Until then, the letter says to keep following the existing plan you already agreed with your healthcare professional.

For patients, families and carers

Understand it together, at your own pace

A clearer explanation can help when you are preparing for an appointment, supporting a parent or partner, or reading English as an additional language.

A clear, important boundary

We explain the letter. Your healthcare professional explains your care.

Clarity Companion is designed to make written information easier to understand—not to assess symptoms or make clinical decisions.

What we do

  • Summarise what the letter says
  • Explain difficult terms and abbreviations
  • Highlight written dates and actions
  • Suggest questions to raise with your care team

× What we do not do

  • Diagnose symptoms or conditions
  • Interpret results as medical advice
  • Recommend or change treatment
  • Replace a GP, consultant, nurse or pharmacist

Common questions

Before you upload your medical letter

Still unsure whether your document is suitable? Email info@myclaritycompanion.com.

What kinds of medical letters can you explain?

We can help with GP, hospital, consultant, clinic, referral, follow-up and surgery letters, discharge summaries, written treatment plans, and letters containing scan or test information.

Can you explain scan reports or test-result letters?

Yes. We can make the wording and medical terms easier to understand and highlight information written in the document. We do not interpret a result, diagnose a condition or advise you what treatment to choose.

Is Clarity Companion a medical advice service?

No. Clarity Companion explains the wording in your document. It does not provide medical advice, diagnose symptoms, replace a healthcare professional or tell you to start, stop or change treatment or medication.

Can I use it for a relative's letter?

You can use the service to help someone you care for if you have their permission or the right to share the document. You can cover or remove personal details that are not needed before uploading.

Can I listen instead of reading?

An optional audio explanation is available for some orders, so you can listen slowly, pause and replay the explanation when that is easier than reading.

How much does a medical-letter explanation cost?

The current price is $40 per letter. You will see the order details before submitting your document.
