British and Polish Health Provision
The Patients' Views

To get a cross-cultural view of the British and Polish Health Systems we sought out the opinions of Polish people living in the U.K., and British and American people living in Poland. Below are the questions we asked. Click on the picture to find out their answers.

Questions

  1. Could you say a few words to introduce yourself?

  2. What's your definition of "feeling healthy"?

  3. Do you consider yourself a healthy person?

  4. What do you do when you feel unwell?

  5. What's your most memorable experience of contacts with the NHS/Polish Health system?

  6. Having spent some time in Britain/Poland can you say that there are things relating to health issues or health service which strike you as very different from those in your native country? If so, what are they?
