Overseas patients

Often international patients come to us because their country of origin does not have the same facilities available that we can offer at our UK based rehabilitation clinic.

We make every effort to make the journey and stay as comfortable and easy as possible, including helping with travel, translation needs and helping the patient understand the local area. We ensure that the patient's cultural needs and practices are met, and that the patient is happy and taken care of whilst away from home.

    We can offer virtual assessments with patients and clinical colleagues across the world.

    We have a dedicated international team who will work alongside the clinical experts to support patients and their families along every step of the way – from understanding treatment options to booking travel.

    Our goal is to make the patient’s journey to our facility as comfortable and stress-free as possible.

Circle Rehabilitation - Fahad's story

Fahad came to Circle Rehabilitation from Kuwait after suffering from Guillan Barre Syndrome.

When he came to Circle Rehab he couldn’t move his muscles and had been bound to one room for 6 months. Our physiotherapy team created a treatment plan for Fahad, to help him achieve his goals. By using our physio equipment and following his treatment plan, he has regained his balance, standing ability and has strengthened his muscles. 

He has been able to stop using a catheter, that was restraining his ability to move, and also regain a level of independence, such as getting himself out of bed in the morning and has retained his confidence.
