Healthcare for International Students
As an international student it is important that you take the time to consider how you will access health care whilst in the UK.
As it is likely that healthcare is accessed differently in the UK than your home country, and that the right to access it may require action on your part, it is important that you determine how you will be covered before arriving – failure to do so may result in you being liable for any NHS (National Health Service) services that you use.
The UK Council for International Student Affairs (UKCISA) website provides detailed information on healthcare in the UK and how it can be accessed.
