GP on Demand
Is There a Doctor in the House?
You’ve worked hard all year and you and your family are off on a well-deserved holiday. But suddenly one of you starts to feel ill... Experiencing the need for medical attention while travelling abroad can be a really stressful experience, especially with the worry and uncertainty that medical issues can cause.
It’s also highly likely that you don't speak the language of the country you’re visiting, and you’d be unsure of the local medical services available to you or even where to find them - especially when you are stressed.
You might have young kids or older travellers with you, and you really need to find help to make sure that they are seen to and taken care of.
You probably also require an English speaking doctor in order to properly understand the advice you will be given. It all adds up to a stressful headache and the last thing you need on holiday.
