Are now in the final stages of Visa application, and just need to get Meds done. Has anyone had theirs done in the South East that they would recommend? I know there is a list of approved Doctors, but we'd rather go somewhere recommened!

Well get ready for a laugh. You will get a list of recognised doctors for around the country, we phoned loads so we could get in earlier. (can be a bit of a waiting list) We went to one by Heathrow, they check out the pilots etc. We are a family of 4 and last year I had a major operation so we were abit scared that I would fail, plus hubby & 1 child has asthma. Anyway we went in and paid our 400 quid for the doctor to make sure we had heartbeats, we could read a passage of english language, checked our blood pressure and our eyes, that was it. If I hadn't taken a letter for my specialist and told the dr about the op he would never have known. Hubby & I had to give blood tests and as I told him I was hard to get blood out of he even took 2 tests from my hubby (standard HIV tests). We were in there for 12 minutes. Its a joke to think that this is how they check the pilots are healthy to fly hundreds of people across the globe. Well good luck and don't be daunted!!
