Can UK patients travel to Turkey for stroke rehabilitation?
Yes. Many patients and families from the UK travel to Istanbul for structured, doctor-led rehabilitation. We review your medical documents and assess suitability before any travel is planned.
What documents are needed before assessment?
Typically a recent medical summary, relevant scans or reports, and a current list of medications. Our team gives you a simple checklist and helps you gather everything for the doctor-led review.
How long does a rehabilitation programme take?
It depends entirely on the individual and their goals — programmes are personalised after assessment. We'll give you a realistic, written plan with an indicative duration before you commit to travelling.
Is robotic rehabilitation suitable for every patient?
No. Robotic neuro-rehabilitation is one tool among many, and suitability is decided by a rehabilitation physician after assessment. Where it isn't appropriate, we recommend the right alternative.
Can family members travel with the patient?
Yes. We understand recovery involves the whole family, and our international patient team can help with travel and accommodation planning for accompanying relatives.
What happens after returning to the UK?
You leave with a written rehabilitation plan to continue at home, and we provide remote follow-up so your clinical team stays involved in your progress.
Do you provide remote follow-up?
Yes. Remote follow-up after you return home is a core part of our programmes, helping you and any local therapists continue the plan safely.
