About Us

Before any treatment abroad planning begins, your X-rays, MRI (if available), and medical history are reviewed by our orthopaedic surgeons through an online consultation.

Only after medical suitability is confirmed does the structured planning process begin.

The total stay typically ranges between 7–10 days, depending on the type of knee surgery performed.

This includes pre-operative evaluation, hospitalisation (usually around 3 days for major procedures), early rehabilitation, and medical clearance before travelling home.

Treatment abroad medical coordination goes beyond selecting a surgeon or hospital.

It includes structured medical review, hospital scheduling, documentation preparation, discharge planning, rehabilitation coordination, complication planning, and organised post-return follow-up to ensure safe continuity of care.

Knee surgery requires both subspecialised surgical expertise and an appropriate clinical environment.

Your case is reviewed in detail to identify surgeons experienced in your specific type of knee procedure. The hospital setting is selected based on surgical standards, infrastructure, and post-operative care capacity.

Recommendations are guided by clinical suitability and long-term care considerations — not availability or pricing factors alone.

Undergoing surgery abroad means entering a different healthcare system - not your local clinical environment.

Healing Journey provides independent medical coordination to structure the entire process safely, including appropriate surgeon and hospital selection, organised discharge planning, structured post-return follow-up, clear medical documentation, and coordinated guidance should post-operative issues arise.

Aftercare is often overlooked, but it is a critical part of a successful knee treatment journey. Recovery does not end when you leave the hospital. You should return home with a clear recovery plan, including structured physiotherapy guidance, detailed medical reports to share with your local doctor, and access to ongoing support if any questions or concerns arise during your recovery.

In our internationally accredited hospitals, the quality of care can be equivalent to UK private healthcare. In many cases, you may also experience faster access, more personalised coordination, and a more structured treatment process.

Yes, your NHS records, including MRI scans and reports, can be used for your medical evaluation. These documents are essential in determining the most appropriate treatment plan before you travel.

The medical risks are similar to having surgery in your home country. However, in medical travel, additional risks can come from poor planning, incorrect treatment decisions, or lack of follow-up care. This is why proper coordination is essential.

Yes, you can travel alone, but many patients prefer to have a companion. If you travel alone, having structured support in place - including transfers, hospital coordination, and assistance - becomes especially important.
