As a result of recent changes to European law a new E111 form has been introduced to replace the old one. If you are planning to travel to one of these countries during 2005 you should apply for the new E111, as the old ones are only valid until 31st December 2004. |

The main difference between the old and the new form is that the new form is now issued on an individual, as opposed to family, basis. However, you will only need to complete one application form in order to receive E111s for you, your spouse/partner and children. The new E111 form will be valid until 31st December 2005 .
The second major change is that during the course of 2005 the UK will be adopting the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC). This will be automatically issued to those who apply for the new E111 form and tick the box to receive the new card.
Where can I get an E111 form?
The new E111 form and the booklet " Health Advice for Travellers" can be obtained from the Post Office. Forms are also available to download from the Department of Health's website:
