Consulting Patients Whilst Abroad

  • We can only call a UK number.
  • We can consult patients whilst abroad for ongoing follow up but we are unable to offer medical advice for a new issue/ acute issue when people are abroad.
  • If patients cannot be appropriately and safely assessed remotely, will be told to seek local medical assistance and patients can find more information on this on the links below.
  • Sometimes routine admin tasks can be organised appropriately for patients whilst they are abroad such as Blood test results and if they need to book a follow up for their return, this is justified.
  • Further information for patient healthcare abroad can be found on either of these links.
