Default PLEASE HELP - Insurance nightmare!

Tomorrow evening I fly to Dubai and over the last two days I have tried to get travel and short term health insurance to no avail - here is my problem - can anyone help - quickly? (Before I lose every strand of hair that I own :-0) )

I have told my UK dr that I am off to work in Dubai so I am no longer on the Drs register in the UK. My new work place in Dubai provides medical care but only from 1st of September when my contract begins.

So effectively I have no travel or health insurance for a week and I would far rather be covered.

I can't seem to purchase single trip insurance as again I am staying in the country for a year.

Any advice or names of insurance providers would be much appreciated.

Axa do single trip insurance, used it last year if you go on to the link and explore you'll find that they do.
