For patients

Specialist care abroad, arranged through your own doctor

Some people need specialist treatment, a second opinion, or care that sits outside the NHS pathway. LibaMed helps arrange that with hospitals abroad — but always through a UK-registered clinician, never around one.

Step 1

You tell us what you're looking for

A short enquiry — no medical records, no forms to chase. Just the outline of what you need and where you are.

Step 2

We talk to your doctor, not around them

Care abroad only happens on a doctor's referral. If what you need fits, we work with your GP or consultant to arrange it properly.

Step 3

A named specialist, not an inbox

Your case goes to a named consultant at a partner hospital — never a general enquiry address — and your own doctor stays in the loop throughout.

Step 4

Your records come back to the NHS

A structured summary of your treatment is returned to your doctor, so your care here continues where it left off.

Looking for a cancer second opinion?

We arrange review of digestive, liver, pancreatic and bile-duct cancer cases by a multidisciplinary tumour board in Zürich, with a written opinion sent back to your own doctor. You don’t travel.

How second opinions work

What we can’t do

We can’t give medical advice, diagnose anything, or tell you whether a treatment is right for you. Only a clinician who knows your history can.
We can’t arrange care that the NHS already provides routinely — that belongs with your NHS team.
We can’t help in an emergency. If you need urgent help, contact your GP, call 111, or in an emergency call 999.

Tell us what you’re looking for

A few details are enough to start. Nothing here commits you to anything, and we won’t contact your doctor without asking you first.

This is an enquiry, not a medical referral. Please don’t upload or send medical records here. Tell us roughly what you’re looking for and we’ll take it from there.
