The journey

The journey starts with a written request: the clinical question, the country of departure, and the documents already in hand. A consultation request is not a reservation and not consent to an operation.

A clinician reads what was sent and decides whether the question belongs in a surgical consultation. Some questions are better answered at home, or are not surgical at all. That answer is a result of the reading, not a failure of the form.

If a consultation is appropriate, travel is planned around the operation and the person’s health. The airports in use are the ones recorded in the organisation settings. The day of a flight is a medical decision. Oncora does not promise a fixed day of departure or a fixed number of nights.

The first days after an operation are spent near the team. Swelling and limits are expected. The result is not judged in the first weeks. Emergencies in your own country are not handled by this website.
