Postby LouLou1970 » Thu Jan 02, 2020 10:19 pm

Hi All.
Does anyone know how I can get a CPAP machine over here? I have my UK NHS one but live here now and don't wish to go back should my machine pack up.
Thanks.

Hi LouLou,
I have one but I had to go through the normal slow stages to get one: Doctor's Appt - Hosp Appt - Various Tests - and voila all done in a couple of months (or so!)

I have used a CPAP nightly since 1992.
When I came to Spain in 2003 I was fully supported by the NHS.
All I had to do was ring or Email my UK consultant for parts and he couriered them to me.
Unfortunately, not long after being here Tony Blair stopped all assistance to Expats.
I then approached my Doctor and after a month or so was supported by the Spanish Health Service.

However, in the interim for you if you experience any problems before being integrated into the system here.
A long shot could be going to the Torrevieja Hospital as follows;
TORREVIEJA HOSPITAL CONSULTANT ROOM 33 MON TO FRI 15:15 to 20:00 HOURS.
In most cases, I thing they would give help and assistance, especially I if you have an SIP card.

All the best.
