How do I arrange treatment in Türkiye from the UK?

Start with what you want and the questions you need answered. Then choose a provider, have a consultation, get a written treatment plan and quote, and agree the aftercare before booking travel. Plan enough time to recover before flying home, and keep your records for follow-up in the UK. Most people take several weeks from first enquiry to travel.

Step by step

  1. Be clear about what you want. Write down the treatment you are considering, your questions and any health conditions or medicines the provider should know about.
  2. Choose a provider carefully. Look at who will treat you, their experience with your procedure and how they handle complications. See how to choose a clinic.
  3. Have a consultation. Many providers offer an online consultation before you travel. See speaking to the doctor before travelling.
  4. Get the plan and quote in writing. It should say what is included and what is not. See what a quote should include.
  5. Agree the aftercare. Know what follow-up the provider offers once you are home, and who to contact. See aftercare in the UK.
  6. Check your insurance. Standard travel insurance often excludes planned treatment. See travel insurance.
  7. Book travel and accommodation. Leave enough time for recovery before your flight home. See how long before flying home.
  8. After you return, keep your records and the provider's contact details, follow the written instructions, and tell your GP about the treatment you had.

How long does planning take?

It depends on the treatment and the provider's availability. Allow time for the consultation, any tests the provider asks for, and for you to think about the plan without pressure. A provider that pushes you to book quickly is a warning sign.
