Alongside the interviews with medical tourists and key stakeholders within the broad medical tourism industry, the project team have been undertaking a range of desk-based reviews.

With the end of the recruitment phase, attention has now turned to the analysis of our interviews. A rich picture of the wider industry is emerging and the discussions Neil has had with NHS professionals have provided a crucial insight.

We now have our target samples of outbound medical tourists and are extremely grateful to all who have been involved in the project and have given their time. We are still eager to hear from anyone who has travelled to the UK for medical treatment.

Neil has been asked to contribute to the Royal College of GP (Glasgow) Diploma on Travel Medicine, in September 2012.  The diploma attracts an attendance from a range of clinicians and health professionals from across the world.
