The National Health Service (NHS) provides free and subsidised treatment for people who live in the UK. As an international student, you may be entitled to NHS treatment if you are:

		Enrolled on a course lasting for six months or more
		Enrolled on a full-time course in Scotland, no matter how long it lasts

Regardless of residential status or nationality, emergency treatment received at General Practitioner (GP) surgeries or in Accident and Emergency departments is free of charge. This exemption from charges ceases to apply when a patient is formally admitted as an in-patient or registered at an outpatient clinic.
