Seeking medical treatment in an EEA Country

Planning treatment in a European Country   

If you are thinking about any sort of planned medical or dental treatment outside the UK, please discuss this fully with your GP, hospital consultant or dentist. Make sure you are fully informed as it is important to have the information you need to make the right choices. You will need to be fully informed about your European healthcare provider and the details of the treatment you are planning to have. You may also need to consider:

• when you will be able to travel
• how your medical notes will be exchanged between teams
• arrangements for after-care or follow-up treatment either abroad or at home
• how you would deal with any complaint or problem should something go wrong following your treatment abroad
