What is it like to go to the UK to see a doctor?

Doctors in the UK are very kind to patients and are very cautious in prescribing medicines and conducting examinations. Unless necessary, they will not easily prescribe medicines and examination items for you. Because the UK implements a medical separation system, doctors' income is related to cost control.

After the doctor writes a prescription in the UK, you can take the prescription to any pharmacy on the market to pick up the medicine. For children under 16 years old, all medical treatment and medicines are free. For adults over 16 years old, medical treatment is free. Drugs must be purchased out of pocket, but the out-of-pocket portion is very small. If the required drugs are special or are not within the payment scope of the British National Health Service, you will also need to pay for them yourself. Patients can go to any pharmacy with a doctor's prescription and pay a small fee (it varies by region, but never exceeds ￡10).
