What to know
Before committing to travel, ask your usual clinician whether the journey is appropriate. Confirm the receiving hospital, named clinical team, written quotation and follow-up arrangements. Allow for recovery, unexpected delays and a companion when needed. Obtain discharge records and a clear plan for care at home.
Before you travel
Prepare a concise medical summary, recent reports, imaging in its original format, and a current medication and allergy list. Ask the receiving team which translations are needed.
Questions to ask your care team
Ask about expected benefits, risks, alternatives, the option of no treatment, follow-up and care after returning home. Do not interrupt current treatment while exploring overseas options.
