European Economic Area (EEA) citizens have access to free or reduced-cost healthcare in the UK. The National Health Service (NHS) offers free medical care to all UK residents at the point of delivery. If you are visiting from abroad you will need to prove any entitlements and may need to pay fees and reclaim these against your own insurance, if you are ineligible. It is recommended that you find out whether your country of residence has a healthcare agreement with the UK and what rights you might have under that agreement, prior to your date of travel.
