Important Information About Medical Services
·
Medical services onboard operate as a private
healthcare service, and charges do apply
·
We are unable to dispense NHS prescriptions,
including repeat prescriptions
Can I request a quote for medical services?
·
Due to the nature of medical consultations, each
recommendation and treatment plan is tailored to an individual’s specific
circumstances at the time of assessment. As a result, it is not possible
to provide formal quotes in advance.
·
Rest assured that any proposed treatment or
service will be fully discussed with you beforehand, including associated
considerations, so you can make an informed decision.
·
Consultation fees are available upon request and
are also displayed within each medical centre.
Medication Storage and Advice

Your cabin cooler is not suitable for storing
medication, the Medical Facility can safely store it for you, this service is
provided free of charge — please visit the Medical Centre to discuss
your needs.
·
Always pack essential medications in your hand
luggage
·
If you forget or lose your medication, please
inform the medical team as soon as possible, whilst we carry a wide range of
medications onboard, availability is more limited than in a shore-based
pharmacy. If a specific medication is not available, we will do our best to
source it at a port of call.
