Hi all,

We will be relocating to Gran Alacant in January. We are on the Spanish system (SNS ?), having lived in Tenerife for the past 16 years.

 So far, we haven't been able to locate anything other than private clinics. Anyone know where the nearest public clinic might be?

Thanks for your speedy reply. So is it a case of registering with them in order to continue with my medication?

As you are already in the system it should just be a matter of registering with one of the Doctors at the Medical Centre.

As you are already in the system, if you go with a copy of your Padron and your SIP card you should be able to register at the GA Medical Centre.

Is the SIP card the same as the "tarjeta Sanitaria" issued here in Tenerife?

It should be. It's just that Valencia like to be different.

If it's a pale bluey green headed plastic card, or the newer red one, then it's what we call a SIP.
