Medical tourism is one of the fastest-growing businesses on earth. With the rising price of treatment in the UK and long waiting lists, there's never been a better time to combine a trip abroad with a treatment. Plus many other countries have not been affected by the deadly MRSA bug in the same way that the UK has—another reason why going outside the UK is an attractive option. Hospitals overseas are clean and well-staffed, and this is the guide to know where to go.

Moving Families

This study is a detailed exploration of how families cope both individually and as structures with the stresses of moving to a new culture. Through rich interviews conducted over a period of two years, Mary Haour-Knipe shows the processes of change and adjustment at work. As the world of work becomes increasingly a global one, employees of governments, companies and non-commercial organisations increasingly find themselves obliged to live abroad for years at a time, uprooting their families from jobs, schools and support networks in the process. The author's findings will be of interest to students of wider issues of migration and to those who study the family under pressure.

Repatriation

Repatriation is the neglected sibling of the living-and-studying-abroad experience. Families, employers, relatives and friends assume that going home is about picking up where you left off prior to moving. However, this way of thinking totally ignores the effects of the passage of time and the impact of change. You and your family have been irrevocably changed by the experience of living abroad. Re-entry stress or reverse culture shock occurs when what is anticipated as known or given is experienced as new and incomprehensible - when expectations don't match reality. Reading this book will: * Raise your awareness about the issues connected to the process of adjustment and adaptation involved in 'going home.' * Help you to understand how your children have been changed by the experience of living abroad and the impact this has on the educational choices you make on their behalf. * Provide you with tools to help you think through, plan for and live through the transition of repatriation.

The Independent Expatriate

An increasing number of people are choosing to pursue an international career. While many are sent overseas by their employers others choose to go it alone as independent expatriates. This book explores what it means to pursue an international career independently. It examines the experiences of a group of British expatriate academics who have left Britain to work in one of four countries: New Zealand, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates and Turkey. It considers why they decided to expatriate, the nature of their subsequent experiences and how they evaluated those experiences in retrospect. While family and career played a dominant role, a search for adventure was the most dominant driver to expatriation. For many of the people who took part in this study expatriation was a modern day adventure characterised by professional and personal challenge as well as learning and transformation. The book is a useful resource for IHRM researchers and practitioners, particularly those managing expatriates. It is also useful for people considering expatriation as part of their own careers, particularly with respect to the impact on family,personal and professional development.
