Anyone been to Handsworth (Birmingham) for their medicals and X-rays ( they do them altogether). Any info on them would be great
Cheers

It cost us £330 for the 3 of us and took about 2 hours. Easy to find if you come from the M5 side past the Baggies ground and very friendly. Start by filling a cup then chest x-ray. See the nurse to get weighed, measured, eye test, finger prick, blood pressure. Finally see the doc for questioning and a bit of a poke and prod. Nothing to worry about.

Easy going & pretty quick (although they said that depends on the number of people and work required). We only needed Xrays for adults and meds for the kids as we're going on a 457 visa.

Nice doc for kids, nice radiographer for us, helpful administrator.

Results were sent off very quickly.

Useful to take the red books with full immunisation records and you must take your recent photos (they sent me away to get another as mine was quite old (and flattering).

Didn't compare costs as we wanted them done quickly but I think ours cost around £150.

Feel free to ask if any more questions.

Cheers for the replys, they have quoted us £100 x3 each for medicals, £40 x3 for x-rays and £25 x 2 for HIV bloods and £30 x 1 for hep B Total £500. I thought it would be less for our daughter a she is 14? and I thought I would have to have more bloods being a nurse?

Really nice people. Very open so everybody knows when and where you are going for your pee sample. My daughter was horrified.
