Since 1 January 2021 the GHIC is accepted in all EU countries as well as Switzerland. It's not currently accepted in Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein. If you don’t have one, you can now apply for a Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC). The GHIC entitles you to reduced cost or free state healthcare in the countries you visit.
However, not all medical costs are covered by these health agreements, so your travel insurance will cover you for all other medical expenses, including bringing you home if you're too unwell to complete your trip.
An LV= travel insurance policy provides up to £10 million emergency medical cover outside the UK as well as things like:
Lost costs if you need to cancel or cut a trip short due to illness
Transport costs to get you home if you can't use your original scheduled transport arrangements due to illness
The costs for someone to arrange for someone to travel to you if it's medically necessary
