An application form, and form E111 itself, have to be completed and handed in at a post office. The stamped and signed E111 is then handed back. Travel clinics at The Ridgeway Travellers can consult our practice nurse for advice. Please make an appointment for the travel clinic well in advance of the departure date to allow time for any necessary immunisations. This consultation is an opportunity to discuss the health risks of travel and their prevention.
Injuries are one of the commonest risks, especially due to road traffic and water-related accidents.
Accidents are the most common cause of holiday disasters. Many of the safety laws protecting you at home simply don t exist abroad. Examples include drink driving, crash helmet and seatbelt regulations. Common sense will prevent many accidents if you just take time to think. Accidents are not confined to vehicles.
