How are healthcare services in 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," remarked another expat who made the move to Scotland.
