We know that every injury is unique and that every patient will have their own concerns and questions regarding their injury.
Telephone and video consultations are used extensively within the NHS to offer appointments to patients who may not be able to travel to an appointment. It has been proven to be a safe and effective method of delivering care.
Our Consultation+ service gives you a personal 15-minute consultation with a UK based specialist Orthopaedic Consultant. This allows for:
- An even more personalised treatment plan based on your needs
- An opportunity to ask questions and get instant replies
- Appointments at a time and place that suits you, reducing disruption to your holiday
- That peace of mind that comes with speaking to an expert
Getting the most value out of your consultation
- These consultations work best if you are somewhere private, quiet and with a good internet connection – a hotel room is ideal
- Have a list of questions ready to ask your specialist
- Log on in good time to make sure you're ready for the start of your appointment
- Invite a family member or a friend to be with you but we find a maximum of 2 people works best
What if I need more treatment before travelling home?
If you are safe to travel home to continue your treatment in your local hospital we’ll try to do that.
However, some injuries need more X-rays or more detailed scans (CT, MRI, USS). In some more serious injuries we will recommend you have your treatment before travelling home.
At Check My Xray we have links with some of the leading specialist centres in Europe. n many cases we will be able to secure you priority access to the scans you need.
If you need to have further treatment again we can get you an appointment with a local experts, ensuring you get a gold standard of care.
