Free or low cost medical care in London?
« on: June 21, 2011, 05:28:20 PM »
Hi All,

I recently moved to London and haven't been here long enough to qualify for NHS. Does anyone know of any free or low cost (I'm thinking charity run) clinics or medical service providers in London? I'll be travelling outside the UK and need to get a Radiology report (TB test) and medical report for a visa application. If anyone has suggestions on how to do this as cheaply as possible I'd appreciate it.

Thanks!

BJ

What visa are you here on? Are you sure you don't qualify for the NHS?

Here are the travel clinics in London: http://www.travelhealth.co.uk/travelclinics/#london, but I'm not sure if any of them do chest x-rays.

Have you looked at the consulate website for the place you are traveling to? Prehaps they have some suggestions on where to get this done.

I'm sure someone else will pop by who can give you more info.

Definitely check with the consulate of the country you're travelling to. I know when my husband needed a medical done for his US visa he had to go to a consulate-approved clinic.
