Default Help needed please

Hi, We are starting our hols tomorrow and i need to find a clinic that can redress a burn wound and check for infection etc.. We are staying in Playa Flamenca and have a hire car.
I have a letter from my hospital that explains things so an english speaking clinic etc would be of great help.
Phil.

The new hospital in Torrevieja has english speaking staff.
The san jaime hospital is a private hospital so I assume that they would also speak english.

Not sure if Torrevieja hospital would treat you as it's not really an emergency and St Jaime would probably be expensive. Perhaps a pop in clinic could help you, there are many of those about and one which I have been to who are very good is based just by the big fountain in Torrevieja town Centre (By the hippy market/funfair). You would definitely need your EHIC card if you wanted to try the Torrevieja hospital and the wait could be long as you would go to the back of the queue as it's not an emergency. Hope you get it sorted.

There is a clinic in Calle Urbano Arregui. I think it is called Salud.

Drive along the coast road from where you are. (Sea on your right)

Turn left at the Salt Belt take second right which is Calle Urbano Arregui.

The Clinic is on the left diagonally opposite a Farmacia!!

Just go to a pharmacia as most staff speak English in my experience & ask them. Surely they'd be able to advise if all else fails.

I think that is a good suggestion going to the Pharmacia, they could probably redress the wound, didn't think of the pharmacia, just automatically thought of hospitals. Well done Orangegrove.

There is a private clinic, not very expensive at La Siesta,. I have used it and they were very good.
