Getting a second opinion
If you’ve been diagnosed with cancer, whether or not you have started treatment, a second opinion can give you reassurance and peace of mind.
We offer a second opinion service in London and Manchester, covering a wide range of specialities.
Our service is led by expert consultants who will provide a comprehensive review of your current and past medical history and 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.
