Hi,
I posted this in another forum, but am hoping someone here may have advice!
I'm an Irish citizen and I study medicine outside the UK and Ireland, but within the EU. I'm married to a British citizen and my permanent home address is in th UK.
I have a few electives lined up for my final year in the U.K. However, MPS and MDU are no longer covering students who don't study within the Uk or Ireland regardless of citizenship and residence status. I've called the BMA, GMC, Royal College of Surgeons, MPS, MDU, MDDU, various private insurers and medical underwriters and none will cover medical students even for a fee! The teaching hospitals used to be able to enroll you as a student as a work around if the insurance was being difficult but MDU have now stated their medical underwriters will not do that! My medical school's insurance does not cover us in the U.K. or Ireland due to the high amount of cover needed. MPS also won't allow it at all.
I want to work in the U.K. after graduation and am worried without more experience there this will become difficult.
Has anyone found a company that will insure students even if there's a cost??? Thanks.
