What do I do about my medication/regular treatments when studying abroad?
If you need to take regular medication or have some kind of regular treatment, please be aware that these are not covered by the University Personal Accident and Travel Policy.
Also, if you are going abroad for several months, your GP may not prescribe you enough medication to cover the whole of your trip. If this is the case, you will either need to take out additional health insurance that will cover pre-existing conditions or make arrangements to have repeat prescriptions posted out to you. Make sure you check if you need a letter from your doctor to carry medication with you abroad – check the airline regulations and the rules in the country you are going to.
