what to think about

  • Are you fit to travel safely?
  • Do you need any special arrangements for travelling?
  • Do you have enough medical supplies/medicines for the whole time away?
  • Make sure you have your passport plus another source of ID, like a driving licence or NHS card.
  • Take your EHIC - European Health Insurance Card (if travelling in Europe).
  • Take your travel insurance certificate and policy.
  • Take any vaccination certificates.
  • Do you need a medical summary from your doctor?
  • Have you got import and export licences for your medicines if you need them?

This all seems like a lot to sort out and a big hassle, but once you’ve got it all organised, you can relax and really enjoy your break.
