Make it clear to the practitioner that you wish to be treated under the European Union's social security arrangements.

Form E111 isn't required, just proof of residence in the UK is required - an NHS medical card or a driving licence. You may be asked to complete a simple statement.

Emergency treatment and medicines are free if you attend a General Medical Services (GMS) doctor and the prescription is on GMS paper.

Hospital Treatment

A doctor will arrange for you to be admitted to a health service hospital where treatment in public wards is normally free.

If you can't contact a doctor before admission, explain to the hospital authorities that you want to be treated under the EU arrangements.
