Travel Information

The majority of people with congenital heart disease can and do fly/travel long distances around the world. If you are unsure ask at your outpatient appointment or contact us or Jo, the Adult Congenital Nurse Specialist. The most important point to remember is to ensure that you declare your heart condition when booking travel insurance. Any omissions or mistakes made in relation to your medical condition can be used as grounds to refuse your claim if made.

If necessary a medical letter can be provided, but the majority of companies do not require this. We can provide you with a list of insurance companies and GUCH (Grown Up Congenital Hearts Patients Association) is also a useful source of information Tel: 0800 854 759, website guch.org.uk.
