1. Attend your nearest  Healthcentre/ GP BUT WITH AN INTERPRETER taking your.Passport , EHIC, medication &'preferably your last Blood Test/ clotting/ prothrombin.time. or,

2. Use the Private GP in Centro Commercial, Mojacar Playa. 35-50€/ consultation plus cost of blood test..

Hi,

It sounds as if you are already in Spain, but if you go out again, You could purchase a coaguCheck machine, you will get advice on this thru the UK Warfarin Clinic, It will cost £248 and you can pay over 24 monthly payments interest free.  The Warfarin Clinic provide the strips FOC, (they are expensive to buy private) and your GP pharmacy provide the needles.  You will get training on how to use this from the Warfarin Nurse in the UK, you will need to log your results in your warfarin book and g mail them thru to the warfarin clinic nurse, and she will g mail you back if you need to change your dosage. This maybe an option, and if so, hope this helps.
