Life / Poznan: Doctors, Contraceptive Pill ... [7]

Hi all,

I have been living in Poznan for a while, but have had no reason to see a doctor.

Firstly, I was wondering what the deal is with seeing a GP? Do I need to sign up at a surgery, or are there places you can just turn up?

Generally, are GPs able to speak English? Any recommendations for surgeries in Poznan city centre?

Secondly, I may fly back to the UK to get a top up of the contraceptive pill. Was wondering what the deal is in Poland? Is the pill readily available? Has anyone any experience of obtaining the pill in Poland whilst being from the UK (or any other country apart from Poland)? Is it as simple as it is in the UK?

Apologies in advance if I seem unknowledgeable.

Travel / Ski in Slovakia - from Poland [3]

Hi,

Does anyone have any experience of skiing in Slovakia? If so, any tips on things to do or avoid? How good are the resorts? Are there ski buses, or would one have to find his/her own way around?

How would one reach the resorts from Poland? My friends will be flying from the UK (probably to Krakow of Warsaw), any idea how to get to Jasna/Poprad region easily? Does any one have any tips on driving there if I decide to do this (from Poznan)?

Any other relevant advice would be great. Thanks in advance (again!).

:-)
