I just want to ask what is my next step to do, I already got the settlement scheme FP and will be going to London before Christmas
Your very next step is simply to arrive int the UK.
The second next step is to apply for Pre-Settled Status, which will result in a biometric card if you are the non-EU family member of a EU national.
I read that I need to apply for a pre-settled status first ? Or if someone can suggest on what to do
That's incorrect. You can apply for your pre-settled status inside the UK. In fact, you can only apply outside of the UK if you already have a biometric residence card (given that you just received a Family Permit, I assume you don't have one).
Another thing, 3 days before my flight, I will be having a hand surgery, can I use my European Health Insurance Card in London for medical check-up(removal of sutures etc.) , I'm just curious, if not, then I need to go back to Madrid
It is my understanding that as a legal resident in the UK (in this case proven by being the holder of a Family Permit) you have access to standard NHS services for free, although not sure how more specialized services are provided (dental is not covered, for example, you have to pay for it). Not familiar with how the European Health insurance card works, I'm afraid, but probably another member can share more information.
