Where to go
How we check licences in Spain
Every health centre in Spain needs authorisation from its autonomous community, so the facility must be found in REGCESS or the regional register. Registers for Andalusia, Valencia and Catalonia are to be added when the first clinic there is checked.
How we check licences| Register | Confirms |
|---|---|
| REGCESS, national register of health centres (Ministry of Health) | A facility licence or registration |
| Comunidad de Madrid register of health centres, services and establishments | A facility licence or registration |
| REPS, state register of health professionals | A doctor's registration |
Stem cell therapy: Spain's medicines agency says that stem cell treatments, apart from blood stem cell transplants, are medicines: outside clinical trials they need specific authorisation. AEMPS information note, 16 April 2010
Checking a licence in Spain
- The clinic: health centres in Spain are authorised by their autonomous community. REGCESS, the Ministry of Health's register, lists public and private centres authorised by the regions, using details that the regions supply.
- The doctor: REPS, the state register of health professionals, shows a professional's name, qualification, specialty and place of practice. The ministry says not every practising health professional has been added yet, so a missing name is not proof of a problem: ask the clinic for the doctor's registration details.
Planning your stay
- A short visit: ask when each result will be ready, and book early in the trip so the follow-up consultation happens before you leave.
- A residential programme: check how many nights the price covers, whether it is per person, and what it includes.
- Records: take your results home in English, and send them to your own doctor (CDC).
- Insurance: a UK Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) does not cover planned treatment, and most travel insurance policies do not cover planned treatment abroad (NHS).
