Subject: Re: Your enquiry

I never ever look at anyone elses site when browsing around for surgery, dentist, etc., your site is the best and easiest to follow, and an enormous amount of work by Linda and her team in sourcing out surgeons' prices, countries is so beneficial for people when they need to start making choices.   I will be, hopefully, be getting my dentist work done out in Budapest.

Linda advises all patients to follow medical advice given and not to return home too soon, especially with long haul flights, after cosmetic surgery.

The article below, states that some patients who had procedures abroad, following complications had to receive treatment within the NHS.  Wh ilst we would not say the report is inaccurate, it does over generalise.   It does not name the countries or the clinics/surgeons where these complications have arisen.  Neither does it say if these complications are as a result of patients failing to follow any post operative medical advice before returning home.

To avoid this Linda Briggs ensures that all our overseas surgeons, listed here, are highly qualified and registered with their countries professionals bodies.  The hospitals where these procedures are carried out are also of the highest standards.

To put all this into perspective, the UK is not immune from complications following surgery.  Linda Briggs has had many cases of patients she has helped to receive revision surgery abroad, following poor surgery from within the UK.

More than a few of Linda Briggs surgeons are also GMC registered and have a licence to practice in the UK.  They can carry out consultations, follow ups and surgery in the UK.  Where Linda Briggs can help you, is by guiding you to the very best options available in the UK and overseas for your cosmetic surgery.  This has only been possible, because of the research carried out into the surgeons and hospitals, both in the UK and abroad, over the last 10 years

OVERSEAS COSMETIC SURGERY BURDENS NHS
The British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons (BAPRAS) has said that the rise of cosmetic surgery tourism is threatening patient safety and is a burden on the NHS.

In its latest research, BAPRAS found that in 2007, 23% of its members had to treat NHS patients with complications after cosmetic surgery abroad.

In 2007, at least 208 patients were seen by UK plastic surgeons for complications after overseas cosmetic surgery.  T hree quarters of those required treatment.  The research revealed tha t of these, 26% of patients had to have emergency surgery.  31% opted to have elective surgery to rectify the problem, 33% had none surgical treatment as an outpatient and 8% had none surgical treatment as an inpatient.

BAPRAS,s research also found no clear NHS policy on treatment of these patients for acute complications of their surgery or for elective revisions of their procedures.

Following the announcement, the Post Office did its own research and found 36% of medical tourists failed to check that their travel insurance policy covers them for surgery.  A further one in 10 people knew they were not cov ered but had surgery abroad anyway.
