Partially missing medical records

[GxT 9]

Hello. My GP has been more helpful than some of them I've read about on this forum! I've been provided with my medical records summary. However, it only goes back to 2007. It appears my records prior to that (of which there would be a further 22 years!) were never digitised. My GP have been in touch with PCSE (Primary Care Support England) who are meant to be the holders of non-digital records. However, apparently there is no trace of them. I know that there was nothing of concern in those records - I think I dislocated my thumb as a teenager and that's about it! But obviously that's just my word. I've looked through the forum but couldn't find anyone else who'd had this specific issue. 

I've gone ahead and had my childhood vaccinations again so that covers off that. 

I've also emailed the Visa Medicals place to apprise them of the situation and see if they have any advice. 

And the best option I can think of so far is to ask my GP to get a letter from PCSE confirming that my records do not exist - although I'm slightly suspicious of my GP's as they told me two different things. But we'll see. 

 

So, I just wondered if anyone has had a similar experience? Or even if you haven't, if you have any thoughts? 

 

I started this process back in February when we were USCIS approved. My medical is on 27th April and my interview is on 15th May. 

 

Thanks

 

Gareth

What is your issue/concern?

Sorry. I should have been clearer! My concern is that my incomplete medical records will mean I'll fail the medical exam.

Unless you have a history of health related issues a full report is not required. 
 

The practitioner is only interested in seeing a summary of your health from you GP (which they should be able to print off at the surgery for you. Along with your vaccination records. 
 

I emailed Visa Medicals a few weeks ago to ask the same question and they confirmed a 2 page summary is sufficient. 
 

I’ll be taking this email as back up just in case there are any issues!

That's really helpful. Thank you. 

 

Aside from an inhaler, I'm all good these days! I was treated for follicular lymphoma a decade ago but I have separate information about that. 

 

Thanks again

No problem at all!

 

let me know how it goes! I’m booking my medical for next month so I’ll be interested to see an recent experience!
