Just moved to Benitachell. Can anybody recommend an English speaking doctor?

Basically, if you have private insurance, your insurer will advise you which doctors you may use under their contract.
If you are in receipt of UK pension and therefore entitled to S1, when the Spanish healthcare system has registered you and issued a SIP card (which designates you as entitled to receive care and has a registration number), your allocated GP will be stated on this card.
Neither private nor state can guarantee that medical professionals will speak English and it is advisable to take a translator if your language skills aren’t up to it. Many medics do of course have some English, but may be reluctant to discuss serious medical issues due to possible misunderstandings/misinterpretation.
