This will be followed by a written report with the opinion on the diagnosis and recommendations for future management. 

Please email info@londonchestspecialist.co.uk for information about the transfer of your available clinical information and test results.

Radiology imaging will need to be submitted as DICOM files via dropbox or a CD can be posted to the clinic. 

The second opinion service fee includes a 30 min consultation.

Depending on the quantity of paperwork and investigations to review there may be associated additional fees.

If reporting of radiology imaging by a specialist chest radiologist is deemed necessary then additional charges will apply.

Further charges will also apply for follow up consultations or new investigations that need to be done. 

Please note that opinions can only be given to the patient themselves and not relatives or friends.  

Follow up consultations aren’t always needed depending on the outcome of the initial consultation.

However, follow up visits are recommended after investigations to discuss results and make subsequent management plans.

They are also important to assess response to treatment and ensure stability fo chronic conditions.
