Weather WorldwideHealth Advice for Overseas Travellers
Every year, people living in the UK go on more than 60 million trips abroad. Most of them have safe trips, but some get ill or have an accident and need medical treatment abroad.
It's not always easy to get treatment abroad, so you should always make sure you have planned ahead. You should always ensure you have adequate private health insurance.
