Hi, I live in Puerto Lumbreras but I’m not allowed to register at the local medical Center as apparently I come under Lorca. Does anyone know of an English speaking doctor that we can register with in Lorca, preferably nearer to Puerto Lumbreras.

I assume you are here on NLVs and, therefore, have private medical insurance? If so, I would suggest that you contact your private medical insurance company and ask them for a list of doctors with whom they work in the area - you don't have to, but it should make things easier if you have a claim.

I am with Sanitas and I am registered with a very helpful, friendly English-speaking doctor who works at Centro Medico Artromur in Lorca city centre.

Hope this helps!

Thank you, but I can now apply for state medical as I’m over 65 and on a pension. Yes I did need private to get here, but I no longer have to have it.

hi, we use our local doctor, but their English is not great so we do google translate, and works fine. But more urgent i would go private.

Hi Sue, 

so sorry for the late reply, we use a local doctor's surgery in Purias, and they are very good. But again Google translate will be needed. 

This is part of Spanish Health care so you will need you health care number, 

im just trying to find a private Cardiologist so will let you know how that goes.
