International student need HELP about medical care in England?
Hi,
I am an international student at first year in university. I felt very ill today and now i think i have a quite high fever. I registered at NHS about 3 years ago when i first came to the UK, when i stayed at a boarding college to do my A’ levels. however i have since moved on to uni to a different city and i have lost my nhs card and number.
I was wondering what i would have to do to consult a doctor if my fever gets worse and where i would have to go. I registered with a doctor last year, but that was when i was staying at a private student accommodation and i have now moved and have not registered with anyone after that. since it is friday i cannot contact my uni and was wondering if anyone here could tell me what i would be able to do if I the fever gets worse.
thanks
Aww i’m so sorry you feel poorly
i don’t know much about their health system (as in laws and such), but i lived there briefly and when i was ill and went to the hospital, the whole thing was free of charge. i’m american, so we started digging in our wallets for insurance, but they just waved us off. i believe it’s free over there … crazy, huh?
