Medical Exam Ireland

[RJS7 5]

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone has recent experience of what the medical exam is like in Ireland?

E.g how long does it take, what tests do they do, what kind of samples do they take etc?

Also, what kind of medical records do you have to bring in? All historic records of illnesses or all records period (ie even where no serious issues)? Does the doctor issue requests to your own GP/any hospitals directly or must you collect?

Finally, usually how long before your interview does the exam happen? I know you have to book the exam yourself but I'm wondering what kind of window you get to book the medical.

So many questions I know but just not sure what is involved.

Thanks

Anyone have any insight? Even if not specific to Ireland?

how are you doing man,i had my medical in Blackrock a few weeks ago for my k1 visa,when i called to schedule my appointment i told them i couldn't get a hold of my medical records,they said that was fine so i brought nothing,the doctor just asked all the standard questions do you suffer from this and that ,just said no 2 everything.he gave me a blood test a couple of vaccinations a basic eyes test checked my heart and ears and balls,then i went into another room to get the chest x ray and that was about it,only took about 25 minutes tops,definitely nothing to get stressed about.Then called back a week later to collect the results on the morning of my interview,hope that helps a bit and best of luck.

Same, had mine end of August. If you can get any vaccinations done before you go to medical its better, but definitely not essential. Its a Dr Ian O Grady in Blackrock Clinic, its actually the Irish Medical Center on the grounds of Blackrock, info is on the embassy portal page here. In all I think it took less than 30 minutes and it takes a week to get results. Also when collecting results, they give you copy of the vaccination report which may come in handy later

Thanks lads. BillyG, did you have any medical records to discuss with them (if you don't mind me asking)? If yes, do they go into much depth? I have 2 minor complaints so just wondering what I'd need to bring with me.

Sorry only seeing this now. The medical is really very straightforward.
