New E111 form

[kitkatman]

How many of you guys out there know that the E111 form has changed? We didn't!

On a recent trip to Crete, my wife had a fall and broke her ankle. The hospital that treated her would not accept our form, dated August 2003. Apparantly it changed in June this year. We had to have a new form faxed from the UK. BEWARE!!

There is a lot of confusion about E111.

What is in no doubt is the need to get a new one for 2005 because the existing ones expire on December 31 2004.

To renew your form, visit your post office, or download the application at www.dh.gov.uk/travellers.

If you get a new E111 before the end of next year, you will automatically be sent the new health card which replaces the E111, when they come into usage.
