UK Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC)
You can also get a GHIC. This is a free medical card that allows you to receive state healthcare at the same cost as citizens of the country in which you are traveling. You should check where you are able to use this card – it is not a replacement for travel insurance.

UK citizens can apply for a GHIC online – Apply for a UK Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) – GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).
