...eceptionist, i said purely as a joke that if i was a refugee or an asylum seeker that i bet i would be seen and her exact words were, "unfortunately yes because we have a duty to those first as they need help" (being geordies it was said in a much rougher way and she clearly agreed with me). So now there's a pandemic maybe we might get seen i dont know.
You could have presented yourself at any NHS hospital if you had a medical situation, re Bilateral Health Agreement between Spain and the UK. The remark about the receptionist agreeing with your joke about refugees and asylum seekers was unprofessional.

...UK i couldnt even see my doctor because of the stupid system where doctors now call you (i last went long before covid), so don't know if I would get an appointment. I would like to be able to go back with the kids and go for a meal with family and friends but if im not vaccinated i might not be allowed if they want to see a vaccine passport.
There is no such thing as a vaccination passport at the moment, it’s something that’s been muted around but nothing announced yet.
Are you in the Spanish Healthcare system or have your own private healthcare plan, and can I ask what age are you?

The S1 form will allow you, as a UK national who is resident in Spain, to continue toreceive UK national healthcare services if you visit the UK, as would any other UKresident. This includes primary care, emergency treatment and hospital care that is provided by the NHS.

Maybe it depends on how you look at it, she didnt say anything bad, she did say i was correct, which i was and she explained why, she didnt critise anyone or say anything racist. I had to see my doctor though because i was trying to make a go of it the UK so i was living there (just for all the negative commenters to read now they've pre-judged me), i had forgotten my medication, which although was my own fault i still needed it. I was still in there system but said because i hadnt seen my doctor in years i would struggle to get an appointment but im still youngish to not needed to see him, it was just the phoning me part that was the problem because apparently thats what they do in the UK
