Hi everyone,
as I am going to study in UK for 10 months, I have a question regarding the NHS.
I am an EU citizen. Can I register for the NHS in order to get free medical treatment as any other ordinary resident? The health insurance from my home country told me that I cannot be registered in two diferent health care systems, so my home insurance expired. Can I just register with a GP and the NHS if I do not have another European Health care anymore?
Has any EU citizien experience with this matter?
Thanks

Non-UK European Economic Area (EEA) and Swiss nationals, and their family, should obtain a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) before coming to the UK to access NHS services for free in the UK. If you are not entitled to an EHIC you are advised to obtain private medical insurance.
