European Health Insurance Card

More snappily known as the Ehic, this card has replaced the old form E111. It entitles you to reduced-cost (sometimes free) necessary medical treatment from the state in all EU countries, plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland. It's free and could save you money and hassle. Click here to apply for your Ehic online, or visit the post office or call 0845 606 2030. Each traveller needs one. It's not a substitute for travel insurance so get that too.
