We live overseas and the most common expat insurance is International SOS, International SOS - Medical and Security Solutions, Products and Assistance

When DS was in London for study abroad, he got an International Student Identification Card. You can google that for info. I believe it included the insurance you are needing...I don't recall the cost but my recollection was that it wasn't too costly.

An ISIC card costs about £7 and gets the student reduced pizzas and things. Not in a million years will that be enough to repatriate anyone!

Maybe sooner, because this morning I got a call from her asking if it is safe to cook & eat eggs that had not been refrigerated for more than 24 hours (I told her no, throw them out - turns out the frig had been broken).

Well if your going to the UK then you better get used to room temperature eggs ;-). They store eggs at room temp. If you go into the supermarket you won't find eggs in the refrigerated section but just out on normal room temp shelves like everything else.
