Hi all,

I will be moving to Glasgow in August to begin a PGDE. I am doing some research into what kind of Health Insurance I will need. I am currently working outside the EU and have private insurance through work.

Are doctor visits free for enrolled students in Scotland?
Do I need to take out private health insurance for the duration of my course?
Any tips/recommendations?

Thanks in advance!
