REGISTER WITH A GP

We recommend registering with a GP as soon as you arrive to Brno. Find the list of English speaking practitioners below. Register early, so you avoid searching for a GP once you are unwell and need a treatment. Always call/email first!

INSURANCE

Students need to get a Czech insurance (VZP insurance company) in order to get their treatment paid by the scheme. Otherwise, you will pay in cash. Please consult your insurance company, or directly the VZP for more information: info@vzp.cz

Unless it's urgent, we recommend making an appointment in advance on the phone. Don't forget to take the insurance card, number or any document proving your insurance.

ABSENCE

Always take a medical note if you happen to miss your class due to an illness or a doctor's appointment. You will need to upload the note into the IS, once applying for an apology of absence. 

HEPATITIS B

ALL students must be vaccinated against Hepatitis B by the 2nd year of studies (before practicing in hospitals). Students have to arrange it individually with their general practitioner (if they have not been vaccinated yet). 

Hepatitis B is vaccinated in the following scheme 0.-1.-6. months and one dose costs approx. 800 CZK.
