- Which public hospital serves Calpe?
- Calpe belongs to the Dénia health department, and Hospital de Dénia has a 24-hour emergency department. Altea, L'Albir and L'Alfàs del Pi use Hospital Marina Baixa in La Vila Joiosa. In an emergency, call 112.
- I live in Calpe part of the year. Can you take over my prescriptions?
- In many cases, yes. By video, Dr. Yelamo checks each regular medicine and the Spanish product with the same active ingredient. Where clinically appropriate, following a genuine evaluation, he issues a Spanish private electronic prescription. Complete EU prescriptions can be dispensed in Spain, but a Spanish one is often simpler; UK ones depend on the pharmacist.
- Do you also cover Benidorm and Dénia?
- Yes. The same video service covers the whole Costa Blanca, with separate pages for Benidorm, Dénia, Alicante and Torrevieja.
- Which areas around Calpe do you cover?
- By video, all of them: Calpe (Calp), Altea, L'Albir, L'Alfàs del Pi, Benissa, Moraira, Teulada and Benitachell. You need a phone or laptop and a quiet spot with a good connection. Dr. Yelamo does not do home visits.
- Is Dr. Yelamo licensed to practise in Spain?
- Yes. Dr. Pedro Yelamo Vera is a physician licensed in Spain (Nº Colegiado 484814280) and a member of the Ilustre Colegio Oficial de Médicos de Bizkaia. He sees patients by secure video in Calpe and across Spain, and you always see the same named doctor.
- What can a video visit cover?
- Common illnesses, new symptoms and short-term follow-ups. Reviews of suitable long-term medicines. Advice, or a second opinion on test results. Children and pregnant patients can be seen too. Treatment and prescriptions are issued solely at the doctor's discretion, only if clinically indicated after a video assessment. Controlled medicines, such as sleeping pills, strong painkillers, stimulants and gabapentinoids, are not prescribed online.
- What if I need to be examined in person?
- Some problems need a physical exam, a scan or emergency care. If yours does, you will be told clearly and pointed to the right in-person service in Calpe. In an emergency, call 112: the video service is for urgent, non-emergency care.
