Health Agreements between the United Kingdom (UK) and other governments for the development of co-operation in the field of medicine and public health.
The UK has a number of Agreements with other countries covering co-operation in different aspects of health care. The provisions in some relate only to the treatment of the nationals of either side when visiting the other; others are more widely based and cover broader co-operation in the health care field. This article outlines what the Agreements contain, how they have developed and what opportunities they present to senior health professionals for exchanges with the countries concerned. Any reader who wishes to learn more about the scope of existing Agreements or who would like to put forward suggestions on topics for exchanges of information and experience in future Agreements should contact the Department of Health and Social Security at the address given at the end of this article.
