Thanks for the replies. Doc gave me an ECG this morning, says no problems looks perfect. Just as a pre-caution he's made an appt. for me to see a Cardiologist on 26th June. Appointment would have been sooner but off to Spain for 2 weeks from Monday. 

 

Great system here in France got a GP appt. 36 hours after contacting them and Hospital appt. also quick.

 

Cant get a GP appt. in UK for love nor money before three weeks

Bad news he's told me no exercise

I went for a blood test and ECG  yesterday afternoon.

The results were back this morning and I got a message asking me to ring for a telephone  consultation as  one of the tests was abnormal.

Earliest appointment 24June!!

I do hope it's not serious.

What is the difference between the UK and French systems.

Sorry about the late reply. Couldn't give you an expert guide by any stretch. This is how its

worked for me.  

 

Rang up GP Tuesday evening, got appointment on Thursday 6 June, 7-45 am, ( my last appointment was at 7-30 am).

 

i was given ECG in GP surgery plus consultation. Cost me £39, you give him EHC11 card and he gives you a form so you can reclaim money back in UK.

GP then contacted my by email at 9am following morning Friday 7th,  telling me he'd made appt. with Cardiologist for 14 June, which I cant make as I will be in Spain so he then gets me one for when I'll be back in France 26 June.

 

I've no criticisms of the NHS at all, but then I do know my way around the NHS.

 

I think  the appointment with the Cardiologist will be classed as Emergency Care, hence I will be able to claim the bill back.

 

I believe I will pay 30% up front and then claim it back at some office locally in France, and then our govt. will pay the rest.

 

Hope things work out for you.

 

good luck

 

Think things will change for us when we leave EU
