Travel Insurance

The UK Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) entitles you to state healthcare in Europe at a reduced cost or sometimes for free. If you have a UK European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) it will be valid until the expiry date on the card. Once it expires, you'll need to apply for a GHIC to replace it. See https://www.gov.uk/global-health-insurance-card

GHIC and EHIC do not replace travel insurance. We recommend you take out private travel insurance: better safe than sorry.
