EHIC Card and School Trip. Help.

Hello all,
I'm going on a school trip to Switzerland next week, and have just applied for an EHIC Card. How long do these take to come through?
Thanks.

    Your card will normally arrive within seven days if you apply using the official process.

    Taken from the NHS website you ordered your card from unless you used one of the scam websites in which case probably never.

    Do let your teachers know so that they can suggest a 'plan B'. Just in case.

    Don't forget you still need insurance as well. The EHIC card will not repatriate you.

    Doesn't it tell you on the website you used for the application?
