The LSET International Student Support department is always dedicated to provide students with complete support to study in the UK and live without any problems.
It can’t be guaranteed that you will gain access to the same medication in the UK as prescribed to you in your native country. To receive medication in the UK, you will first need to be checked by a doctor (General Practitioner). We recommend you bring your current prescription to the country. The majority of the people have to pay to get prescriptions in the UK. Free prescriptions are available if you are under 19 years of age and studying full-time. However, for short-term courses, you are advised to bring sufficient supplies of your medication with you.
If you have been diagnosed with any existing medical conditions, we highly recommend asking your doctor to give a letter explaining the condition and any medication that you are receiving. This letter should be given to a general practitioner in the UK to ensure consistency and care in your treatment in the country.
It would be best if you inform your doctor in the native country that you will be visiting the UK to study. Get consultancy from him/her to discuss your medication and access healthcare during your time in your native country. If you want to address mental health issues, General Practitioners can also help you in the UK.
The British government has stated that individuals don’t need to be COVID-19 vaccinated to enter the UK. In fact, every international student above the age of 18 is eligible to receive a free COVID-19 vaccine. The immigration status or nationality doesn’t matter to become eligible for this scheme. The students who have been studying in the UK for less than six months are also eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine.
Individuals under 18 are not currently administered the COVID-19 vaccine. You must be 18 or above to receive a shot of the COVID-19 vaccine. You can register with a General Practitioner to gain access to the vaccine.
If you have received the first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine abroad, then it is possible to get the second dose of the same vaccine in the UK (it must be available in the UK). However, if the same vaccine is not available in the UK, then you should contact a General Practitioner to make sure that you receive the appropriate vaccine for the second dose.
The National Health Service or NHS is a publicly funded healthcare system that provides several services free of cost. However, you have to pay for several services.
The services provided by the NHS are free of cost;
The National Health Service (NHS) will give you access to almost comprehensive healthcare coverage. The majority of the services are going to be free. However, dental care and eye care won’t be covered in this.
