International rehabilitation patients
At Circle Rehabilitation we welcome international patients from around the world
Overseas patients at Circle Rehabilitation Birmingham
At Circle Rehabilitation we welcome international patients from around the world.
Whether patients have embassy sponsorship, international health insurance or are paying for themselves, our specialised team are here to help from start to finish.
We will make the whole process as easy as possible for you to come the UK for treatment.
Often international patients come to us because their country of origin does not have the same facilities available that we can offer at our UK-based rehabilitation clinic.
We make every effort to make the journey and stay as comfortable and easy as possible, including helping with travel, translation needs and helping the patient understand the local area. We ensure that the patient's cultural needs and practices are met, and that the patient is happy and taken care of whilst away from home.
Fahad's story
Fahad came to Circle Rehabilitation from Kuwait after suffering from Guillain-Barré Syndrome.
When he came to Circle Rehab he couldn’t move his muscles and had been bound to one room for 6 months. Our physiotherapy team created a treatment plan for Fahad, to help him achieve his goals. By using our physio equipment and following his treatment plan, he has regained his balance, standing ability and has strengthened his muscles.
He has been able to stop using a catheter, that was restraining his ability to move, and also regain a level of independence, such as getting himself out of bed in the morning and has retained his confidence.

We can offer virtual assessments with patients and clinical colleagues across the world.
We have a dedicated international team who will work alongside the clinical experts to support patients and their families along every step of the way – from understanding treatment options to booking travel.
Our goal is to make the patient’s journey to our facility as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
Our international team includes face-to-face translators who will engage and build a relationship with patients and their loved ones.
This will help patients and their families to understand the rehabilitation program and be able to answer questions related to their stay with the help of the multi-disciplinary team.
They will also accompany the patients on their therapy and medical sessions and work alongside the clinical therapists.
We understand that each patient’s needs are unique, especially when they come from diverse cultural backgrounds.
Our international team works closely with our clinical experts to develop personalised care plans tailored to the specific needs of each patient.
This ensures that every aspect of the rehabilitation process is customised to promote the best possible outcomes.
We work closely with international clinicians and support agencies to manage and facilitate patients travel and admission to our facility.
We also offer advice and help on attractions and places to visit within the UK and local area, we can help book accommodation and give travel guidance for relatives to come and stay nearby while the patient receives treatment.
Our dedicated team liaises with international clinicians and support agencies to ensure a smooth and hassle-free travel and admission process. From arranging flights and visas to coordinating transportation and accommodation, we handle all logistical aspects to make the transition as seamless as possible.
In addition to our medical and clinical support, we offer comprehensive advice on local attractions, travel destinations, and accommodation options for relatives visiting the UK.
Our team is happy to assist with booking hotels, recommending restaurants, and providing information on places of interest in Birmingham and the surrounding areas.
We aim to enhance the stay of our international patients and their families, ensuring they have a pleasant and enriching experience in the UK.
At Circle Rehabilitation, we are committed to providing culturally sensitive care. Our team is trained to respect and understand the diverse cultural backgrounds of our international patients.
We strive to create a welcoming and supportive environment, ensuring that patients feel at home and valued throughout their rehabilitation journey.
We can provide personalised meal plans, as well as help to celebrate events of cultural importance.
Even after the patient’s discharge, our support continues. We provide guidance on post-rehabilitation care, follow-up appointments, and ongoing support services.
Our team remains available to answer any questions and provide assistance, ensuring that patients and their families have the support they need long after leaving our facility, even after the patient has travelled home.
