I cant recommend anybody in your area but we had ours done in South East London a few weeks ago and paid £50 per x ray and 110 per adult and 52 per child medical. Its very basic - no asking anybody to cough, a blood test for the adults a wee test for all over 5 and just a general all over good look!
Best of luck

Dave - shop around for prices!! They can vary quite a bit - just for me and OH the prices varied by over a hundred squid, so for a family it could add up to even more. Ring a few places, even if they are a bit of a hike - for the sake of an extra half an hour in the car you could save £hundreds!

Thanx for that I will do that, I would rather spend a bit more of my time than my money

Hi Dave

We had our chest x-rays done a few weeks ago at BUPA Hartswood Hospital in Brentwood and paid £82.00 for each adult and my 12 year old son. My daughter is 9 years old so she didn't need to have one. We had them done on the Saturday and they were ready by the Wednesday.

My husband and I only needed chest x-rays but the children had to have full medicals. I had their medicals done at a surgery in Upminster, Beech Avenue for £80.00 each.

Hope this has been helpful.:)

MMMmmmmmmmmmmm.....I'd like to say that my doc WAS happy that he DID DO that....but I'm sure that it was all thoroughly professional.

It gave my wife a laugh anyway.............the fact that I MAY have felt utterly violated was lost on her!
