Hi, I'm new to this forum as would appreciate some advice please. I need to see a doctor tomorrow and was wondering if I can simply walk into the Quesada centre near The Coopers and if there are English speaking doctors there. I assume if I take my EHIC there is no cost?
Thanks

You need to register with one of the doctors. If you take your EHIC and passport then the receptionists will register you on a temporary basis. However, doctors are very reluctant to speak English and they have notices up saying if you don't speak Spanish you should bring an interpreter with you. You will have to pay for any prescriptions issued.
