Re: No Appointments

That's a new one on me Meg.
It's to be hoped they're suitably qualified and actually have the skill to sift who should take priority.

Mups ... nag them. If my condition had been marked as Urgent I'd feel I ought to .... but given what others have posted it doesn't fill you with confidence does it.

Re: No Appointments

Isn't this sort of thing going to encourage even more people to visit their local A&E department?

Re: No Appointments

Most likely ... but in my experience they will often refer you back to your GP if it's what they judge a 'chronic' condition.

Re: No Appointments

Hi

Cheap Ryanair flight, with your EU Health Card, visit the hospital and get it seen to straight away.

Fast service, and the NHS pays.

Re: No Appointments

I don't have a passport Swims .. so I'd have to go through the tedious deception of been a refugee.

Hi

Yes, that may be an issue, but if you needed urgent treatment well worth getting one and flying over.

Good point, at least for the next two years!

Perhaps it would be a good idea if the EU could provide comparative details of the strengths and weaknesses of all member countries with regard to medical specialisations.

But do you have an EU health card?

On reflection, I don't suppose you have as if you don't have a passport you couldn't travel to other countries anyway...

despite the EU's claim to free movement of people!
