Thousands of Poles living in the Highlands are self-medicating because they are too embarrassed to register with a GP, according to a Polish group.
"They are scared that they will have to pay to register and to get good treatment as they do in Poland.
"Some are self-medicating and are having medicines sent to them from Poland."
Mrs Wierbowicz-Fraser added: "If you are not under the care of a doctor how on earth do you know what the long-term effects of what you are taking will be?"
Free care
The BMA said it was the right of every citizen in Scotland to have access to free health care.
A spokeswoman said: "Polish people should be made aware of their rights.
"For certain minor ailments you can see a pharmacist, but where a Polish person has concerns about their health they shouldn't feel that they cannot seek medical attention."
