Healthcare and benefits in France

Can I seek medical treatment in France if I'm living in the UK?

For British citizens wishing to seek medical advice or treatment in France rather than in the UK under the NHS, there is a patient mobility scheme set up between the UK and France. The Department of Health website gives information on the patient mobility scheme.

If you are planning to come to France in order to get treatment, it is vital that you contact the Department of Health local commissioner before you travel.
