The programme

How the programme works

One programme, five stages, led throughout by Dr Emre Güvercin. It brings together a medical assessment, a written plan, a visit to the clinic if your plan includes it, and nine months of follow-up.

Stage 1

A conversation

You make an enquiry and choose a time for a call. A member of our UK team calls you to understand your health, your history and what you are looking for. If the programme may suit you, we send a private link to a short health questionnaire, and a list of blood tests. If it does not, we tell you, and suggest where else to turn.

a link to your health questionnaire and your blood tests list
Stage 2

A consultation

Dr Güvercin reviews your questionnaire and blood test results. Then he meets you by video. He explains what he sees, answers your questions and tells you whether, and how, he suggests continuing.

Stage 3

Your plan

You receive a written plan. It sets out what is proposed and why, the full price, the risks and the alternatives. The alternatives include options that do not involve a visit to the clinic. The plan also sets out the deposit and cancellation terms. Take the time you need to decide.

Stage 4

Istanbul

Day 1: a face-to-face assessment with Dr Güvercin. You sign written consent only after all your questions are answered. Day 2: the care set out in your plan, and rest. Day 3: a check-up before your journey home. A licensed travel agency arranges your flights, hotel and airport transfers. An interpreter is with you throughout. [confirm]

Follow-up

Video appointments at one week, then at one, three, six and nine months. Your measures are repeated along the way, so you can see what has changed, and what has not. With your consent, your GP receives a summary. A contact line stays open throughout.

Who the programme is for

People of 45 and over. People who want to understand how they are ageing, in numbers, and plan with a doctor. People able to travel to Istanbul, if their plan includes it.

Who it may not suit

Anyone looking for a quick fix. Anyone whose health needs close, local care. Dr Güvercin decides this with you, and tells you plainly.

What the programme is not

Not a retreat. Your time in Istanbul is medical care, planned around rest. Not a menu. Nothing is chosen from a list. Your plan is written for you. Not a promise. We measure, and we share what we find.
