Patients from abroad
If you are visiting from another country and need urgent medical attention we will treat you under the NHS system for a period of up to two weeks.
Please note that hospital care or other community care may incur a charge, depending on your country of residence.
Further information on who is eligible for NHS treatment and what charges might apply is available via NHS Choices
Ex-Pats
If you are moving abroad on a permanent basis, you will no longer be entitled to medical treatment under normal NHS rules. This is because the NHS is a residence-based healthcare system. Please notify us so that you and your family can be removed from the NHS register.
Most people will no longer be entitled to use your UK-issued European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) to access healthcare abroad.
More information can be found on the NHS Choices website
