What to bring to Medical appt - GP guidance

[Laud 40]

Hi! Quick question about the medical check up needed before interview. The instructions say that “If you have any significant/ongoing/previous medical conditions (i.e depression/cancer, HIV etc) please ensure that you bring a report from your GP/Specialist/Consultant regarding this; including, medication, prognosis, management etc. (this includes conditions such as depression, anxiety, diabetes, hypertension etc).” Our GP is at a total loss as to what this report should look like so I want to give really specific instructions. Does anyone have any guidance? This is for a history of anxiety by the way.

They want a paragraph in medical terms about anything that applies to you. Such as—

 

Laud has been treated for hypertension since January of 2019. He takes Amlodipine 5mg twice daily to manage it. His average blood pressure with medication is 125/75 and is well managed.

 

Laud suffered from mild anxiety  in September 2015 when his was made redundant  at his job. I prescribed [name and dosage of med]  which he took for 6 months. He has had no anxiety incidents since. He was never a threat to himself or others.

Anything to do with depression or mental health needs the magic words Not a threat to himself or others to please the visa clinic. The phrasing can also be Never a threat…. or No longer a threat…  depending on the situation.
