It's mostly a general physical (like you may have had pre-employment), so they will check blood pressure, listen to heart and lungs, palpitate stomach, and talk to you about your medical history and any psychological and drug issues. But they will also draw blood for STDs and you'll have an x-ray to check for TB.

What should the applicant expect at the medical examination?

The applicant must show his/her passport (or other photo identification) and appointment letter to the doctor during the medical examination.

The medical examination will include a medical history review, physical examination, chest X-ray and blood tests for syphilis.

The physical examination will at least include examination of the eyes, ears, nose and throat, extremities, heart, lungs, abdomen, lymph nodes, skin and external genitalia.

I had my done few weeks ago at the Blackrock Clinic. Just like everyone else is saying - it's a general medical examination. They just checked my eye sight, checked my height and weight... blood pressure... feel your abdomen to check for irregularities... listen to your heart and listen to you breathe...ask some questions about medical history and give you vaccines if you don't have a vaccination record that shows you have been vaccinated... and that's about it...oh and u will also need to have an xray and they will draw some of your blood...

it will last approx 30 minutes...you will pick up the results a week later from the blackrock clinic - they dont send it. Need to pick them up personally.

Most clinics are instructed to mail it to the embassy. I guess Ireland is an exception. If you have to make your own delivery, I would avoid reading the report. They may reject anything that has a broken seal.
