Hi all, just received our medical forms for permenant residence, how much do adult and child medical exams cost? (the kids are 6,5 and 15 months)

Hi Kirsty,
From what I have seen it can vary. We had our in Sept 2009 in Belfast. 2 adults 3 Children and it came to £1080 which includes XRays for My wife wife I.
We also had to get a second medical for our twins who have a slight speech delay which will be £450 when I get the Bill

so it can be steep

Kirsty,

We had our PR Medicals on the 4th of Jan 2010, we priced up 3 in the North West Area, 2 in Manchester and 1 in Liverpool. The 1 in Liverpool and 1 in Manchester, came out at £1177 for 6 of us at various ages. The 1 in Altrincham, Manchester cost us £870, a big difference. I can recommend Altrincham practice, it was very smooth.

Hi
The best thing you can do is phone around to ask the ones nearest to you how much they charge. Be sure to ask if that includes X-rays and whether they are done on the premises.

We had ours in November in Knightsbridge.....they were £200 cheaper for a family of four....compared to the Harley Street practice. Knightsbridge do x-rays on the premises.....Harley Street send you somewhere else and x-rays are charged separately, hence the difference in price.

Its a minefield out there...so tread carefully. Also check if you can all be done in the same appointment on the same day. Cambridge told me that they could only do one adult and one child on one day and the other Adult and child the next day....which is just stupid.

Take any copies of recent medical history with you and also a copy of your last smear test. Ladies should not do medicals a few days either side of their period to avoid blood in urine. Also larger busted ladies may have to have 2 x-rays as breasts can show as shadows...if that is the case you will be charged an extra £40.

Good luck
Hope this helps

sorry to hijack the thread,

sean, i assume you guys did your medicals with clifton street surgery.
me and the wife have ours in just over a weeks time and i was wondering if you could shed any light on the process as we're not really sure what to expect!

did you guys have a breast/testicular exam?
did your wife have a smear test done?
did you bring anything with you with regards to medical history?

many thanks

Hi goodpikey,
Yes we had our Medicals at Clifton St Surgery. Firstly the staff are Great especially Martin. The Dr is really nice and makes you relaxed
as for the questions you posed.
1. I had a testicular exam and My Wife had a Breast Examination
2. My wife didn't need a smear test as she has had one with in a defined period of time (I think it's 3 years, Best check that your self)
3. You have to fill in the questionnaire that the Dr supplies which is detailed.

don't hesitate to contact me if you need any more info.

Regards

Sean
