The solution to medical problems abroad
Worried about understanding medical treatments abroad?
It's not only the language barrier that can be a problem when you have a
medical problem on holiday. You may not understand the medical processes, the
insurance system or the medication you're prescribed.
Direct Travel Insurance have come up with a unique
service to get round this problem - they call it Talking Nurses.
Talking Nurses is a telephone-based service available at no extra cost to
all Direct Travel policyholders, which gives you round-the-clock access to
medical advice from qualified nurses, with doctor support if required. This
includes guidance on health problems, information on foreign hospitals and
clinics and details on the foreign equivalents of UK medication.
You can call on the Talking Nurses for support if you encounter problems
whilst away on holiday, and can even seek their advice before travelling,
giving you peace-of-mind that you fully understand the medical care you'll
receive, wherever you're going.
