Facing a medical emergency abroad can be daunting, especially if you don’t have travel insurance. Without coverage, hospital bills can escalate rapidly, with ICU beds costing over $3,500 per day in some countries. In extreme cases, hospitals may even withdraw care if payments stop. Repatriation costs vary, with air ambulances ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of pounds. At MET Medical, we provide free advice on repatriation options, ensuring you find the safest and most cost-effective way home. Don’t let an unexpected medical emergency turn into a financial crisis—know your options before you travel.

Is the NHS Being Abolished? Here's What You Need to Know

With recent news about NHS England closing, many people are asking: Is the NHS shutting down? The short answer is no—but big changes are happening. NHS England is a management body, not the NHS itself, and its functions are being merged into the Department of Health and Social Care. This shift aims to streamline healthcare administration and give more control to Integrated Care Boards (ICBs), which manage local NHS services.

Want to understand what this means for patients, funding, and the future of the NHS? Read our full breakdown.

Upcoming changes to event medical cover regulations will require all event healthcare providers offering treatment for disease, disorder, or injury (TDDI) to be CQC-registered. Previously exempt, doctors, nurses, and paramedics must now work under a CQC-regulated provider or obtain registration themselves—even when volunteering. These changes, originally due in March 2025, have been delayed but will take effect later in the year. Event organisers should verify their providers' CQC compliance now to ensure seamless medical cover at events.
