Medical treatment abroad, (sometimes called medical tourism) is available to those who wish to privately fund their own treatment.

This guidance highlights the requirement to ensure that all post operative/treatment aftercare is fully included within the treatment plan, as this is something that may not be routinely funded or offered by the NHS.
