Full medical history for visa medical

[EthanB 0]

Hi there guys,
I've been trying to get my summary care record now for a few weeks but my doctors seemingly refuse to accept it exists, they sent me my full medical history after almost 4 weeks of waiting for it. And now they claim what they sent me is what i requested. Does anyone know if the visa medical facility in london will accept a full medical record or will they refuse my medical? I'm stressed beyond belief at this i don't really know what to do?

That's weird, a summary card record is a standard NHS thing. When you book your medical London says you need to inform them if it's more than X amount of pages long (10 pages I think?) and may need to pay extra for a doctor to look through it all. If you have your full medical record then it would be much longer than that normally, so to avoid having to pay extra I'd go back to your doctors and try again personally. Point them to this page and tell them this is what you need - https://digital.nhs.uk/services/summary-care-records-scr

 

There's no reason for them to refuse to give it to you (I'm not even sure they can).

Same happened to me. My GP gave me a full report. Emailed Visa Medical today and they said it's fine as the first 2 pages are basically the summary
