Travel Insurance

Doesn't the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) give me medical insurance?

The European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) and acts as part of a reciprocal health agreement with the UK to entitles the holder to the same state-funded treatment as the residents of the country they are visiting. However, this does not cover the cost of your repatriation back home and it may not cover all of the treatment you would expect to receive for free on the NHS – travellers may still have to make a contribution to the cost of their treatment. The typical cost for a broken leg is £5,000. Better be safe. You can aply for EHIC at your local post office.
