Confirm the appointment in writing
Check the doctor’s name, site address, local date and time, consultation format and fee. If you need interpretation or accessible facilities, ask what is available and whether you need to arrange it yourself.
Ask what the visit may involve
Find out which records to bring, whether the team needs translations and whether a review visit may be needed. Ask the treating clinician about timing before committing to return travel.
Plan the handover home
Before leaving, ask how to obtain a consultation summary and relevant reports. Confirm who can answer follow-up questions, how to share updates with your local clinician and whether remote follow-up is available from your country.
