- Second medical opinion service * (up to 2 consultations each year)
Sometimes we all need a second medical opinion to help us make a difficult decision. You can use HealthWise to access a second medical opinion, where a diagnosis can be assessed and analysed by a second expert pair of eyes and could result in a different treatment plan or just valuable reassurance.
