Have a good holiday !

Hi Donna Your best source of information is the consumer magazine "Which" . If you don't subscribe to it you can normally see back copies in your local library.

The Dec 2011 edition had a very useful article on " Travel Insurance for people with pre-existing medical conditions "

At the time two companies seemed to come out well :-
i) Travel Insurance Medical and ii) Holiday Safe

I'm sure you will get contact details if you Google them

They found a 900 % difference in price between the cheapest and dearest companies so it is worth shopping around.

I have also heard that it is worthwhile contacting
Saga and Age Concern; both apparently are good for people with health issues

You should of course tell them about your PM and when it was installed. Most companies charge a premium if you have had any op within the previous 12 months



Best of luck

I bank with the above building society and they offer free holiday insurance if you meet the account requirements. I have paid £30 to include my pm for a years cover. Bargain !

Hi Donna,

I'm from the UK too, and have only just joined this site (about 5 mins ago). Try this URL http://www.heartrhythmcharity.org.uk/www/410/0/Travel/ They have a lot of other useful information on other pages as well.

Cyril.
