Hi All,

Just wondering who you use for travel insurance?  I need annual travel as I have a couple of holidays planned which are coming up. 

Thanks

Carrie

    HI carrie303

    Very sensible to take out travel insurance. You’ve got to think of the worse case scenario & then hope for the best! Medical assessment website can sometimes give a range of companies. Look on lbd passport website as well  for info for travellers. It also might depend on the country you are visiting. The length of time away & then activities you plan to take part in. Also do your Own local research to know where hospitals. Gp surgeries & pharmacies are. I ended up on an island that any serious case you were air lifted off. I experienced my first blocked Stoma over night. It was a bit scary & worrying as hadn’t done my research. Thankfully with common sense the issue resolved but it could have been a totally different story. Drink extra fluids (only Bottled water not tap) while away & be wary of food that is not cook or been kept warm. The last thing you need is a stomach bug!  Good luck & happy travelling. X
