Receiving Medical Care Abroad
What You Need to Know
We understand that some of our patients choose to seek medical advice, investigations, or treatment—including surgery—outside the UK. If you do receive healthcare abroad, it’s important that you let us know when you return.
Why This Matters
To continue providing you with safe and effective care, we need to have a full understanding of any treatment or advice you’ve received overseas. Different countries have different healthcare systems, and we want to ensure your care is properly coordinated within the NHS.
What You Need to Provide
When you return to the UK, please share the following with us:
- Translated copies of any medical letters or reports
- Investigation results, such as blood tests or scans
- Details of any medications prescribed abroad
This information helps us make informed decisions about your ongoing care and ensures we follow NHS national and local guidelines appropriately.
What We Will Do
Once we have the necessary information, we will:
- Review your medical documents
- Assess any ongoing needs
- Provide appropriate follow-up care within the NHS system
Your health and safety are our priority, and having a complete picture of your medical history helps us support you better.
If you have any questions, please speak to a member of our team.
