London Medical

[approveus 0]

Hello all.

I had my medical in London yesterday so I thought I would write a brief note on my experience.

My appointment was scheduled for 12.50pm. I arrived on time and handed over the questionnaire that they send you and the photograph that they require you to bring. I waited in the waiting room for 5 minutes and then the doctor called me in.

The doctor briefly went over the forms with me and made me sign my photograph. She weighed me and measured my height. After that she tested my eyesight and told me to strip down to my underwear. She checked me over and told me get dressed. She then took some blood for my HIV test. Ouch.

This part took less than 10mins in total and then I immediately saw the nurse about my vaccinations which were up to date and then went in for an x-ray. After that the nurse took me through to reception where I paid my £170 fee.

The whole process took about 30mins and I didn't have to wait to see anyone. It was an absolute breeze and the staff were all friendly and helpful.

I just hope the interview at the Embassy is as straightforward.
