Healthcare authorities confi rm attendance at Consulatein Community event in Torrevieja on 8th Sept 2011
The Valencian healthcare authorities have confi rmed that they will attend the Consulate in the Community event on 8th September. This is the fi rst time that they have agreed to attend a Consulate event and shows that they recognise the importance of working with the British community to ensure that they are correctly registered for healthcare.
Martyn Standing from the Pension, Benefi t and Healthcare team said: “I’m really pleased that the healthcare authorities have agreed to attend this event. This will enable us to work together to ensure that British nationals living in Spain can access healthcare correctly. In the Valencian region, everyone can register for healthcare, it’s just a question of fi nding out which cover to get. Having the experts at this event will enable people to fi nd out which cover to apply for and how.”
Other local charities attending the event have also explained why they are looking forward to it. Jacqui Phillips from the association MABS said: “Work done by the Consulate to advise British nationals about where to seek assistance in Spain is invaluable.

Martyn Standing talks to a customer about access to healthcare
Having attended meetings, like the one being held on 8th September, I feel without a doubt, they bring people closer to the department and charities, putting names to faces.
Peggy Wyatt from the Royal British Legion added: “We are delighted to be invited to take part in the “Consulate in the Community” evening. This is a tremendous opportunity for local British residents – prior to the main meeting - to chat with the many charities and organisations established in Spain offering assistance and advice in co-ordination with the British Consulate. For the Legion, we appreciate the Consulate giving us an occasion to speak with these organisations and the large numbers of British residents and visitors. Our aim is to offer assistance and comradeship via our Legion Branches. By all working together we can improve the “sign posting” of information and aid integration.”
The Consulate in the Community event will be held on 8th September between 19:00-21:00 in the Centro Cultural Virgen del Carmen theatre in Torrevieja. The event will be divided into two sections; the fi rst is a “Well-Fair”, whereby you will be able to get information from local authorities and different charities that will each have a stand.
Organisations represented are Social services, the Diputación, the healthcare authorities, Age Concern, RBL, MABS, Help Vega Baja, the Alzheimer’s Association and many more.
