Medical treatment abroad

Options
Hi
Wonder If anybody can help us -

My wife and I need a couple of small operations -
Unfortunatley The NHS wont perform these until they get very bad.

I was wondering if anybody, has had any medical treatment overseas: Eg France beliguim germany etc

We are willing to pay for these operations) to get them performed quickly .

Has anybody got any advice on how to go about getting operations performed overseas and also the cost . Will it be cheaper than the uk ?

Thanks

    Thank you for these links - amazing timing, just today a friend who does not have internet asked me to explore treatment abroad for her extremely ruined knees, as she is on an eternal waiting list and is in great discomfort.

    Does anyone know how to get referred to treatment abroad paid by the NHS? Thank you in advance for this.
