Christmas is a time for joy, family gatherings, festive lights, and cosy evenings. But this year, what if you gave yourself a gift that truly matters, the gift of feeling well again?

At Surgery Now, we speak every day with Irish patients who are stuck in pain, waiting for answers, or waiting for surgery dates that never seem to come. Some have been on public waiting lists for years, while even private hospitals often can’t offer dates until next year.

The good news? You don’t need to wait or even be on a waiting list. Through the EU Cross Border Directive, Irish patients can travel to Spain for treatment, receive exceptional care from trusted specialists, and have costs reimbursed by the HSE, all without endless delays.

And the best part? Now before the festive rush is the perfect time to make it happen.

Why Now is the Perfect Time to Travel

November and early December are calm, affordable, and stress-free for travel. Airports are quieter, flights are easier to book, and our partner Hotel AJ in Gran Alacant provides a welcoming, peaceful space to rest and recover.

From the very first call, our team is here to guide you. Keith will greet you warmly, answer your questions, and explain how the journey works. Leanne ensures all HSE paperwork is handled smoothly, removing any stress or confusion. Once you arrive in Spain, Alex coordinates every detail of your stay from hospital appointments to daily logistics. so you can focus entirely on your recovery. And of course, Scott, our patient driver and firm favourite with everyone who meets him, makes every journey safe, comfortable, and even fun. One patient said it best:

“Every patient needs a Scott!”

With the Surgery Now team looking after every detail, your journey is simple, reassuring, and stress-free.

Recover in the Spanish Winter Sun – The Perfect Pre-Festive Escape

While Ireland grows colder and darker, you could be recovering in Spain’s gentle winter sunshine. Imagine leisurely walks along the coastline, nourishing meals, and time to relax while everything, from hospital appointments to daily logistics, has been carefully organised for you.

With the festive rush still a few weeks away, you can recover calmly, free from stress and chaos. Many patients notice that healing feels faster here not just because of expert medical care, but because they finally have the time, space, and peace of mind to focus entirely on themselves.

It’s the perfect way to step into Christmas feeling stronger, more comfortable, and ready to enjoy the season to the fullest without waiting lists, delays, or worries at home.
