By Joshua Wood, LPC

Last updated on Mar 02, 2024

Summary: The quality of medical care in Scotland is generally considered to be on par with the US. Scotland has a comprehensive public healthcare system, which is free at the point of use for all UK residents. Emergency services are well-equipped and staffed, and ambulances can be called by dialing 999 or 112.

How are healthcare services Scotland?

When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Scotland, they replied:

"Healthcare services in Scotland are provided by the National Health Service (NHS) Scotland, a publicly funded healthcare system. The NHS Scotland provides a wide range of services, including general practice, hospital care, mental health services, and community health services. The quality of public healthcare in Scotland is generally considered to be good, with a range of services available to meet the needs of the population. Foreign residents in Scotland are eligible to use the NHS Scotland, provided they are legally resident in the country. Expats in Scotland can use the public healthcare system by registering with a local GP and paying the relevant fees," said one expat living in Scotland.
