Before you arrive<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Buy Travel Insurance <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Make sure you have travel insurance <\/strong>that covers healthcare and repatriation. The UK’s healthcare system is free at the point of use, but you are likely to be asked to pay after treatment (please note, this has become much more common in recent years). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Bring an adapter <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You will need a three pin plug adapter for the UK if travelling from most countries. Ideally these should be as small as possible, as bulky adapters will block others’ use of dual plugs (eg in a conference room). Some newer hotels now provide USB plugs for devices. You may also want to bring a portable charging device, as plugs in the conference rooms are limited. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Mobile phone roaming<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Check roaming arrangements for your phone in the UK. Whilst Wi-Fi is available on campus (see below) there is very limited free Wi-Fi in public spaces in the UK, and it is not always secure. E-sims may be an option to order before you arrive, if your phone is compatible with the technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Packing for British Weather <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

August is often the UK’s warmest and driest month: but it can be wet. You are recommended to bring layers and a waterproof coat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a more detailed forecast: Ormskirk weather from the BBC<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
