Specialist second opinion and multidisciplinary review
A review of an existing diagnosis or treatment proposal, focused on the decision you need to make.
Chat on WhatsAppWhat the assessment considers
Start with one or two specific uncertainties, such as whether further testing would change a proposed operation. Another specialist may agree with the existing plan or explain a different approach.
Records for the assessment
Bring a dated diagnosis and treatment timeline. Also include original imaging, pathology reports and current treatment proposals.
Questions for the clinical team
Ask which conclusions are supported by the available records and which require examination or new tests. If opinions differ, request an explanation of the evidence and discuss the next decision with your treating team.
Confirming care and arrangements
The receiving hospital must confirm whether it can provide an in-person or cross-border remote review. Confirm the review scope, written output and fee before arranging it; requesting an opinion does not reserve treatment.
Records to prepare
- A dated diagnosis and treatment timeline
- Original imaging, pathology reports and current treatment proposals
- The questions you want answered and any time-sensitive decisions
Questions for your clinician
- What decision can this review help me make?
- Does the opinion require examination, further tests or discussion by several specialties?
This information helps you prepare for a clinical conversation. It does not establish a diagnosis, treatment eligibility or a confirmed booking. A listed hospital or clinician is not a claim of partnership. Seek local urgent care for an emergency.
