Practical Checklist

Frequently asked

What if I don't have all my old medical records?

Share whatever you have — a specialist can often still form an initial opinion, and may request specific additional tests once they've reviewed what's available.

Do documents need to be translated into English?

This depends on the hospital and the original language; ask your coordinator whether translation is needed for your specific reports.

Should I bring physical copies or digital copies?

Both is safest — physical copies as a backup, plus digital copies you can easily share or re-send if needed.
