Brexit explained: Can I still get healthcare in the EU?

As the UK prepares to leave the EU on 31 January a transitional period will begin.

Up until now, a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) entitled you to state-provided medical treatment if you fall ill or have an accident in any EU country and during the transitional period nothing will change.

BBC reporter Tom Hepworth takes a look at what Brexit could mean for tourists who need to access healthcare and for British citizens who are living in the EU.
