As a foreigner living in Glasgow, will I have access to public healthcare? What is it like?
We asked expats in Glasgow if they have access to public healthcare in Glasgow. And, if they do have access, what is it like. They wrote...
"As a foreigner living in Glasgow, you will have access to public healthcare through the National Health Service (NHS) if you are a legal resident or have a valid visa. The NHS provides a wide range of healthcare services, including general practitioner (GP) appointments, hospital treatments, and emergency care. The quality of healthcare in Scotland is generally high, with well-trained medical professionals and modern facilities. However, you may experience waiting times for non-urgent treatments or specialist appointments. It is essential to register with a local GP to access most NHS services," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Glasgow, Scotland.
