The European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) which replaced the E111 in 2006  can be used to cover any necessary medical treatment due to either an accident or illness while on holiday in Tenerife (or elsewhere within the European Economic Area and Switzerland).

Not all  services you would expect within the UK will be covered and you may have to make a contribution towards the care you receive.

There is no information on the EHIC website specific to its use for the treatment of swine flu but it might be the only cover you have unless you have read the fine print of your travel insurer or called them to confirm that they do offer pandemic cover.

The EHIC can only cover you if you show it upon arrival at the hospital. To be on the safe side, carry it with you at all times.

Golf your way around the world in a dream job being offered by the YourGolfTravel website.  Candidates should have a a handicap of under 14 and should have been recently made redundant. They would preferably have a corporate background but that is not a necessity.

The candidates will face off in a golf tournament and the prize is travelling the world for a year, playing on and reviewing courses from John ‘O Groats to Timbuctu whilst being handsomely paid f0r doing so.
