Hi All
Firstly thank you for looking at my thread; I have a question regarding travelling and the cost of prescriptions.
I currently live the U.K and I plan on travelling round Europe between March-August 2017. I will mainly be travelling via air travel, coach and train, and staying in Hostels. My previous excursions were one week in duration as a result my prescriptions would last the entire trip. But due to my travel plans being longer than a month in duration will I be entitled to prescriptions on my travels. If so will the cost be entirely covered by the NHS? And also how would I order a prescription?
I have read a few webpages but have found no real substance to answer my question. I am aware that some countries in the EEU do not accept the EHIC card, so this question does not apply to these.
Current Medication:
Accu-Chek Mobile device – Cassettes and lancets
Lantus Pen
Humalog
I would be grateful should any of you guys of encountered this, or have advice on what I could do.
