Flights

When you are ready to return home after your surgery, it is possible to arrange flights to transport you back to your local hospital or to your home.  This can be arranged by the hospital, or our staff can assist you with this.  The cost will depend on a number of factors including your health insurance cover. Please call our rooms if you would like more details.
