Seán Conway’s Journey: Fast ACL Surgery in Spain with Healthcare Abroad

From Injury to Recovery: A Seamless Experience

The Frustration of Waiting in Ireland

Seán Conway from Mayo recently suffered a bad hyperextension during a casual game of football. “I knew fairly quickly that it wasn’t going to be good. I play rugby so I wanted to get treated in Ireland and then back on the pitch as quick as possible. Instead, I found myself stuck—waiting, calling, being sent from one place to another—and still without even a consultation.”

A Swift Solution with Healthcare Abroad

“I had looked into Northern Ireland, but the wait times were still too long. Then, I found Healthcare Abroad. Within two weeks of calling, I was on a plane to Spain. I arrived on a Sunday afternoon and was picked up from the airport by one of their drivers. The next morning I had an ECG, an X-ray, an MRI, and blood tests—and was back at my hotel having breakfast by 10 AM!”

Unmatched Post-Surgery Care

“One of the best things about getting knee surgery in Spain is the Physio. I started a few days after surgery and had two physio sessions a day for five days. That level of care makes such a difference in recovery, and you’d really struggle to get that anywhere else. The fact that even the physio sessions are fully reimbursed makes it even better. Plus, the team are excellent, and their English is just as good as mine!”

A Sense of Community

“Something that really surprised me was the sense of community over here. There’s great camaraderie because there’s so many Irish patients here at the hotel and hospital. That really helps the recovery you know, you don’t feel lonely. One of the Saturdays Healthcare Abroad organised for us to go to an Irish pub to watch the Six Nations together. There was a busload of us who went down cheering on the game, all comparing crutches!”

Why Wait? Choose Healthcare Abroad

“After seeing what Healthcare Abroad do, I would tell people that there’s just no need to be waiting in pain, pick up the phone and give them a call.”
