- Follow-up can continue by teleconsultation after you return home.

Before you travel
Send your recent thyroid blood tests, ultrasound reports, biopsy results and medication list for pre-consultation review. This helps identify what needs to be done during your visit and whether any tests should be arranged in advance.
We can advise on how long to allow for assessment and follow-up.
During your visit
Consultations are scheduled by appointment. Bring original reports and images where possible, along with a list of medications and questions.
If further tests are needed, we coordinate them and explain what each involves.
After you return home
Follow-up can be arranged by teleconsultation, with tests done locally and results reviewed remotely. This avoids unnecessary travel while maintaining continuity.
We provide written summaries that you can share with your local doctor.
Practical considerations
Travel, accommodation and visa arrangements are the patient’s responsibility, but we can advise on timing and what to bring. Language support may be available — ask when booking.
When to seek urgent medical help
- Chest pain, severe breathlessness or fainting — seek emergency care locally.
- Fever with a rapidly swelling neck.
- Sudden vision loss or severe eye pain.
This guidance does not replace emergency services. If you are seriously unwell, seek urgent medical care immediately.
