medical insurance for the duration of their stay in the UK. You need to organize your own medical insurance before you travel. Positively Languages does not offer travel and medical insurance in the UK, but you can either use the link on the Positively Languages website to book travel and medical insurance directly with an insurance provider, or can choose your own. IF YOU GET SICK: If you fall ill while in the UK you should visit a doctor. You can ask the Student Services Manager or your host where the nearest doctor is. If you have a minor illness you can ask staff at a local pharmacy for advice. Remember to bring any relevant insurance or medical documentation with you. You may need to register with a local doctor. PROTECTING YOUR BELONGINGS: We strongly recommend you take out insurance for your personal belongings, especially cameras, mobile phones and laptops.
