Travel insurance

My name is Liz and I am a Cancer Information and Support Adviser. 

In terms of holiday insurance, there are a couple of ways to find insurers for your particular situation.  You mention "recommendations people have used", and you are welcome to chat to other patients, and those affected by cancer, on the Online Community to explore how they have approached getting insurance.  There are various discussions on the Travel insurance forum for cancer patients' and Recommended travel insurance 2023 - Macmillan Online Community

If you would like a broader search, another option for finding travel insurance is the Travel Insurance Directory which has been created by MoneyHelper (a separate organisation to Macmillan).

 The directory can be used to search for Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) approved travel insurers who may offer cover to people with pre-existing medical conditions. Please visit their directory by using the link below:

 https://www.moneyhelper.org.uk/en/everyday-money/insurance/use-our-travel-insurance-directory

 If you don’t have access to the internet, please call MoneyHelper on:

  0800 138 7777 and press option 1 then option 4.

MoneyHelper can guide you through the directory and send a list of the results out through the post.

 Another website which may be useful is British Insurance Brokers’ Association (BIBA). They have a travel medical directory which can be used to search for travel insurance for anyone who has a serious medical condition. Their directory also meets the FCA criteria for a medical cover firm directory.

 You can search their directory for travel insurers in the link below:
