In Portugal and Spain you can buy prescription medication over the counter from the pharmacists. You don't even need to see a doctor.Re: NHS v Private
Thank you Annie. That's a good start ...Re: NHS v Private
Yes there are private GPs. In fact many practices used to do private appointments if you asked them. Not sure if they still do so. Doctors also have private practices. They should be CQC regulated. Private healthcare isn't all it's cracked up to be by some proponents. You just get a bit more time with the same professionals. They all have to train in the NHS. I think that even those who come here as trained doctors have to gain some NHS experience in order to get their GMC membership.Re: NHS v Private

I would hate to be waiting for an operation now as it's more than likely it could be put off for two to three years........and maybe more!Re: NHS v Private
At the moment everyone is going to have to wait longer because private hospitals are just as affected by making treatment covid-safe. That will see premiums going up too. As well as this those who can afford it and are waiting for treatment on nhs lists are likely to go private which will put more pressure on the system. The issue is one of capacity whether it's private or nhs. The main constraint at the moment will be staffing.Re: NHS v Private
