Getting a second opinion
If you have been diagnosed with cancer, whether or not you have started treatment, a second opinion can give you reassurance and peace of mind.
Our second opinion service is led by expert consultants. They will provide a comprehensive review of your current and past medical history, to identify the best treatment options for you. This review may identify new treatment options or simply confirm you are already receiving the best treatment. Either way it can help you make an informed decision about what is best for you.
We offer a second opinion service in London, Birmingham and Manchester, covering a wide range of specialities.
