Planning an International Patient Visit
When enquiring from overseas, say whether you need a paediatric specialist consultation, a review of previous treatment or a maternity appointment. For a child’s visit, include who will travel with the child so the receiving team can advise on registration and consent paperwork.
Before booking travel, confirm the department and campus, whether tests or follow-up appointments may require extra days, and how you will receive records for the patient’s clinician at home.
