Abstract:
The effects of the Community right to migrate for healthcare services on patients have yet to be studied extensively. This paper uses a sociological institutionalist perspective to show how such migration might cause change in patients, especially their motivations, agency, self-understanding, identity and citizenship. This suggests the development of Euro-biocitizenship and patients as Euro-biocitizens, as well as providing a rejoinder to critiques of the right, and calls for new governance to address its effects.
