hi there,
Realised my EHIC card had expired, read on MSE about making sure I went direct to the EHIC free of charge website and not a scammer on thur 24th Jan. The website suggests a wait of approx 10 working days (2 weeks). The card is valid for up to 5 years.
Received replacement card 1 week later on thur 31st jan - brilliant! (it might be a quiet time of year mind!)
If you need to obtain or renew yours (can be done in advance) here is a Link to the official (&free) EHIC site is here:
http://www.nhs.uk/NHSEngland/Healthcareabroad/EHIC/Pages/about-the-ehic.aspx
Cannot fault that - well done!
