Anyone who has been taken ill when they are abroad knows how important it is to have rapid help at hand. Medcall UK, the national 24 hour visiting GP service is there 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to ensure that visitors to the UK, if unwell, are reassured and given the best possible treatment, swiftly and with the minimum of fuss.
The service which is a great success in London and a number of regional centres, is now being extended throughout the UK.
Andrew Rae-McCance, Operations Director, said, " a significant part of our work is providing medical care to visitors in the UK. Often visitors from abroad, who know no alternative, seek medical care through the NHS when they are taken ill. On many occasions they are unaware of where to receive private medical care, even though they are covered under their travel insurance.
MedCall works with a number of international insurance companies and their assistant agents who refer their subscribers to MedCall for treatment. Whatever the medical problem, a call to MedCall ensures rapid and convenient care, and, on most occasions, the bill is settled directly by the insurance company.
"We have over 2000 doctors on our books" said Andrew. " So we can reassure visitors that they can get the best of care throughout the UK from our dedicated team. Our aim is to get visitors well so that they can enjoy the rest of their holiday or continue their business trip in the UK."
