Hi all,

I've spent the last two weeks at the hospital in Murcia interpreting for two of my neighbours, one who is disabled the other a retired gentlemen with a very rare condition.  Neither neighbour speaks any spanish, so both called on me to help them.

The point I would like to stress to anyone considering moving to Spain, is that they should bring with them a copy of their medical records or at the very least a summary of their medical history.  In both cases, neither person had anything with them to help medical staff, as you can imagine trying to get medical records from a UK hospital on a Bank Holiday was not easy!!!

So please, if you are thinking of moving over, ask your GP practice to compile a summary of your medical history, you never know when you may need it!
