In case you hadn't heard we have left the EU and one of the things that's has changed is the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC)

In preparation for our forthcoming trip to Spain I found our cards have expired, so today applied to replace them with the Global Health Insurance Card. It was previously a requirement of our travel insurance to carry the EHIC so confident the new policy will require a GHIC

They are free if you apply through the NHS website possibly not if you use a 3rd party.

Nothing political just hoping to save someone the hassle of finding out too late.
 
Good info.
Thanks for sharing.

I may get mine too. How long do they last?
 
Just done mine and the girlfriends. Cheers
 
Thank you for the reminder, I checked mine and it runs out at the end of August 2021.

Apparently you can apply up to six months before your current EHIC card expires so that is me sorted.
