Hi, my elderly mum and I have just moved to Vera playa and need to register with an English speaking doctor or practice. My mum got a card called an S1 or S2 from England but I am not sure what I need to register, I think an E11 card is for holidays. I am 57 years old so not sure what entitlement I have re healthcare in Spain, any advice would be good 😊 t

Hi Janis,

I hope all is well?

Your mum will have an S1 form, which she will need to take along to the local medical centre. She will also need to take copies of her Passport, NIE number and Social Security number. If she is a full time resident, she will need to take her residencia also. The medical centre will then get her to fill out a form, which will be sent off with copies of all documents and she will receive a medical card within 2 weeks (normally)

In regards to yourself - https://www.expatica.com/es/healthcare/Getting-healthcare-in-Spain_101467.html have a read through this helpful post in regards to healthcare in Spain,

if you need any help with anything, in regards to signing up for the doctor or a health insurance quote, do not hesitate to contact me

Hope this helps

Best Regards

Haylee
