You need it to cover you until you return to UK.
A quick search on travelsupermarket.com shows cheapest is Columbus travel at £16.15 less 16% Quidco = £13.57

Don't just go for the cheapest go for the company that covers your needs, read the summery of cover

I have been looking to renew my annual travel cover for the past 2 weeks, most difficult year I have ever had to renew. Need cover for Hotair Balloon, Parasailing and DW's high blood pressure. Columbus is one I am considering, they are about half the cost to renew with my current insurer M&S.

This site has some handy tools for comparing cover http://www.defaqto.com/star-ratings/find-star-ratings/100

Best ones to book with are ones that pay well on claims, do you know anyone thats claimed successfully? Insurance companies can promise anything but its all down to how easy they pay out.
Trouble is if you search travel insurance reviews they all get bad reviews, people only post on review sites when they have problems not when all goes well so you need personal recommendations if possible.

Just one thing, have you been booked a while if you are going next month? Travel insurance really needs to be taken out as soon as you book your flights and know your dates, costs no more if you buy 11 month out or 1 month out but you are not covered for anything til you buy the policy, should be one of the 1st things you buy.
