Tips for travelling with pre-existing conditions
Tips for travelling with pre-existing conditions

  • See a doctor
    Before committing to any travel plans, you should speak to your doctor – they’ll be able to advise you on which destinations, activities or forms of travel are more suitable or recommended with your condition.
  • Don’t forget anything
    You should ensure you have more than enough medication to last your trip, as well as any documentation you might need – including a doctor’s letter, copies of your prescription, and details about your medication and health. You should also factor for any equipment like oxygen tanks or mobility/hearing aids.
  • Research your destination
    Once you’ve decided on where to go, you should research the local area so you know where to find the closest clinic, emergency room or pharmacy. You should also look up the region’s emergency numbers and the location of the British embassy, high commission, or consulate.
  • UK GHIC or UK EHIC aren't always enough

    The UK government still recommends that you have travel insurance in place as well.

    UK residents travelling in EU countries may be able to access medically necessary state-provided healthcare there for free or at a reduced cost. You'll need the UK Global Health Insurance card (UK GHIC) or a European Health Insurance Card (UK EHIC).

    The UK GHIC has replaced the existing European Health Insurance Card (EHIC). If you have an existing EHIC you can continue to use it until the expiry date on the card. Once it expires, you'll need to apply for a UK GHIC to replace it.

    Remember, neither card covers any additional cost to return you to the UK or for a relative to stay or fly out to be with you. In a medical emergency you may have no control over the hospital you are taken to, or the closest hospital may be private. But medical travel insurance may be able to cover some of the cost for you.

    You can find out more information about which card to apply for here.
