Local GP surgery

Mrs B, your European Health Card only covers emergencies. You do not register with a doctor in the Medical Centre until you are in receipt of an S1 form from the UK, usually pension age.

You will need private health cover and then use a doctor on the list given to you by the provider. 

The Medical Centre is in the car park at the rear of Meson Pepa. If you have an emergency and need to go to either the Medical Centre or the hospital you will need the card and your passport. 

Great help & advice thankyou we really need to get our heads around the private health care, if you have any recommendations who to go with it would be much appreciated thankyou 

Or you can also go to Pulpi center, near the marketplace. There is the public, local small healthcare center.

Or at the first roundabout when entering Pulpi coming from SJ there is on the right a brandnew center 'Vitaluna' that is privetly held but accepts health insurance such as DKV, etc...

Thankyou your advice & information is greatly appreciated, hopefully we won’t be needing medical assistance but as the years go by always best to have a back up plan lol thanks again 👍

Hi,

I am sure I have heard & read of those not yet signed on with a GP but processing being able to sign on for a limited period.

May I suggest you,

a) Contact DWP Newcastle upon Tyne & enquire, and

b,) take yourself EHIC & Passport PLUS interpreter (very important) to local Healthcentre & enquire formally.

May be a waste of.your time & 10€/hr for interpreter but nothing ventured.

Private healthcare here can be difficult logistically.

Best Wishes,
