We got an email today stating a new requirement for the medical:

  1. Summary of medical history from GP (NOT full medical records) and reports covering any medical conditions, disabilities, and prior serious illnesses you have been treated for or anything ongoing. This is a new requirement and may not yet be added to the checklist online or the US EMBASSY LONDON website.

We will keep your medical on hold if you do not have it with you on the day of the appointment.

Ask your GP for a Patient Summary/Care Summary.

I'm going to refer you to this thread: 

Technically speaking it's not a new requirement. Just something they have now been writing down in the email. The same advice has been given in the VJ UK guide for a long time - of reasons when such a report is needed. The truth is, if you have ongoing medical conditions, needing medications, or disabilities, were hospitalized for something serious, have a history of mental illness/depression/self harm, or if you have answered yes to the numerous questions they ask about of the medical form. We have seen many completely healthy persons bring in such medical history reports (which really state the person is perfectly fine) and Knightsbridge doctors not want them. We have also have seen persons unable to obtain such statements from their GPs, and have also been fine with Knightsbridge. If you are completely healthy with none of the above, you can opt to bring one for peace of mind, and will likely discover it is not needed. The important document from a GP to bring is a printout of your vaccinations.

Ask your GP for a Patient Summary/Care Summary.

Did you end up having to bring and show the medical history from GP?
