Hi Lynn ... the weblink for online applications changes periodically. The current link is shown on page 1 of this thread, and in fwh's post. The number for phone applications is also shown on page 1 and as an 0845 number, it is charged at local rate.

Thanks guys, now I need to find out my grandsons NHS number as his parents can't find his medical card. 
Hi your Grandsons medical no. can be obtained via his GP surgery, they'll have a note of it on their records
why is it always left to me to get it all sorted 
Cos your a Gran, it comes with the territory.
Even when they 're all growed up they still ask gran.

Mine arrived 2 days after applying online.
Going to turkey this year, does this card apply here.
No, there is no reciprocal healthcare arrangement with Turkey. A comprehensive travel insurance policy would be required for any medical attention or healthcare.

Hi there
Can you please tell me if it is possible to have multiple EHIC cards.The reason I ask this, is that my daughter (who stays with my ex wife) is coming on holiday we me this year for the first time since the E111 was abolished and I applied for the new EHIC card for her and would this prevent her mother from applying for one?

I think it probably would - but I assume that she only has one passort too so the simple answer is to keep it with her passport and just make sure that you pass them backwards and forwards between you as necessary.

Hi everyone
Can anyone tell me if the little cards that replaced the E111 have to be renewed each holiday/yr. We had them a couple of years ago for all the good they were, i had to get the doc out and produced this card and he said no its only good if you have to go to hospital.
Thanks

I have moved your post from the Travel Insurance topic to the EHIC topic.
I have just checked my EHIC and it has an expiry date of September 2008. I have checked the EHIC website, on Page 1 of this topic, and it looks like you have to reapply to renew an expired card.
It is still worth getting one as having one is a condition of some insurance policies.

hi..could anyone tell me how you re-apply for the ehic. i have noticed that the expires date is sept this year and will need to re do them. also does anyone know if there has to be a certain amount of time on the card when you go on holiday...does that make sense???we go on hols in aug and cards expire in sept...is this ok?? 
hi alsaby.. i had to use my card a few years ago too, when i got gastroentoritus(..is that how you spell it??)..i went to a doctors and then on to a hospital and my card was accepted.for me it was a relief as i was worried about hospital expenses.fortunately i didnt have anything to pay..i would always make sure that i have a card for me,and my other half and our little boy has one now too!not sure about re-newing evry year..i have just posted asking about renewing on expirey though! 
If you go to Page 1 of this topic and click on the link to apply for the EHIC there is a link on their web page to apply for or renew the card.
