Hi I'm new here so hello to everyone. I'm thinking of moving to France from the UK and living there as a resident permanently, so far I've done some research on the internet on the French Health System but I'd really like to chat with someone who lives there as a Para or Tetra. I particularly need to know about prescriptions as currently I get them 'free' in the UK. Also 'check ups' for osteoporosis and eurology matters, who pays? I already know that for operations and other health care, 75% is payed by the patient up front and then claimed back but how does this system work for permanently disabled persons, are there special concessions? Anyone here can help?

Are you a member of SIA? Theres a female para who lives out there and recently wrote an article in their newsletter about her recent bladder botox injections in the French Health care.

I can't remember her name but maybe if you call them she maybe on their link scheme or they can look up the article. I think she often advertises her French rental villa in SIA too.

Hope that helps, if you have no luck I'll see if I didn't file the copy of the newsletter with the article in the bin.

THANKS - I've recently been in touch with her.

It is a dream of mine and my husbands to move to France. Could you direct me to this lady's article please? - I wouldn't mind asking her a question or two.
