Moving to NHS

My wife has been treated privately for Metastatic Lung cancer (secondary brain) as we were lucky enough to have had private health care as part of her employment, her employment officially ends in April. We hope to move to a new home away from our current town and county within the next few months, I know that I will need to arrange her NHS care package where we intend to live, she also has a chest port fitted as there were difficulties with her veins, is it best to simply contact our original NHS contact prior to the private referral and ask them to help with this or should I arrange appointments with an intended new local doctor? - not really quite sure where to proceed.

  • Hello John .

    I'm sorry to hear about your wife's situation.

    Hopefully others who have face the same decision will come along shortly to advise you on when it comes to moving from private to the NHS.

    Also, you might want to contact the NHS directly to see if they can help guiding you through the process.
