All overseas visitors to the UK will receive emergency medical care at the point of need - in other words, in an emergency, we'll look after you!

Obviously you really must consider Health and Medical Insurance as an absolute necessity when visiting the UK. We strongly advise you take out a policy that will cover the costs of getting you and your companions home in the event of a serious medical factor preventing you from continuing your holiday.

Ensure that you bring enough medications to cover the duration of your holiday. We can, if necessary, arrange for medical consultation once in the UK for prescription of short-life medications (such as Insulin).

TIP - ask your Doctor or Medical Practitioner to write an 'open letter' detailing any medical conditions and medication you may be subject to. This not only helps UK health professionals, but also helps with Customs should they search your baggage and find large quantities of medications.

TIP - Ensure any medications you bring into the UK are 'blister packed', i.e.; in plastic/film, not loose in bottles.
