Reciprocal medical care
If you are travelling to another EU country you should obtain an European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) before you travel. This will provide you with free or reduced cost medical care in EU and some other countries. You can apply for one online at www.dh.gov.uk/policyandguidance/healthadvicefortravellers, or by calling 0845 606 2030 or from a Post Office. The form will tell you the exact treatment which individual countries offer under the scheme. You may not get free medical treatment in some countries.
