General Practitioner (GP) and nurse consultations or treatment in primary care are free of charge to all.

For secondary care services (Hospitalization, ambulance services and others), you must be living lawfully in the UK on a properly settled basis to be entitled to free healthcare, otherwise you may be charged. We recommend getting a Travel Insurance if you are planning on staying in the UK short-term only.

Short-term visitors from countries who have healthcare agreements with the UK can continue to access medically necessary healthcare. This also applies to EU visitors with a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC).
