The option to talk to qualified doctors and nurses about any aspect of medical care will be offered to all policyholders, in order to provide advice and reassurance before and during their holidays and business trips.

Based in the UK, Talking Nurses is a unique 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, confidential telephone service operated by fully qualified nurses, with doctor support if necessary.

Direct Travel Insurance will provide its policyholders with a special telephone number which they can call at anytime of the day or night, from anywhere in the world, to talk directly to a health professional about their medical issues.

This free service includes:

• Strict confidentiality.
• Advice for families travelling with children.
• Patient drug information, including the name of medicines in the country being visited.
• Pre and post operative treatment advice.
• Medical advice with specific reference to aviation considerations.
• Comprehensive information about medical conditions.

Mark Shaw, Managing Director at Direct Travel Insurance, says: While your travel insurance policy ensures that you will be covered for emergency medical treatment, Talking Nurses provides you with the answers to all of your non-emergency medical needs. We are delighted to be able to introduce this excellent new service to all our customers at no additional cost.
