If you don't mind travelling to Leeds, I found them to be very efficient and prompt in sending the paperwork off.

We had a really good experience at Altringham and they were cheaper than most as well, very organised explained everything clearly. Would highly recommend them.

congratulations on the medicals

We are in the East Midlands too, Leicester, we are travelling up to Altrincham for our Meds on Friday. Have heard good reports about them, so giving them a try.

£200 for meds and xray.

Will update after the medical to give you and others insight into what our experience was like!

Question for 'tmb', we had our Medical Requests today aswell, where in Birmingham did you go and how much did it cost per person?

....and what were the Hiccups?

looks like its a thumbs up for Altrincham then!

Our closest DMP is in Winchester. Prices quoted are more expensive than those above - but no waiting list! Anybody used their services? What is the quickest 'turnaround' time to expect for the documents back to CHC?

Thanks.

Is that £200 per person?

I think I'm going to need to get a second job......lol

There are 6 of us in my family - me, my wife, 2 sons (aged 18 and 16) and 2 daughters (aged 13 and 9).

I'm guessing that's 3 adult fees and 3 children's - any idea what bill that's going to rack up. I wonder if I can negotiate a family bulk discount...

OK, following on from my comment above, here's the price list from my nearest 'Designated Medical Practitioners':



By my reckoning I'll need to stump up £1,260 - is it me or does that sound a bit on the steep side?

I'm prepared to travel (I live in Bristol) - does anyone know of somewhere substantially cheaper which would be worth a bit of petrol money to get to in order to save a few quid?

The Marvins

Tudor Medicals in Nottingham were brilliant and they were able to tell us our results within a week.

How many additional photos are required for the medical...? Is that another FOUR each - on top of the SIX I have already got for each family member. Are anymore photos required for any other part of the process? (I had hoped the eight I got printed by the photographer would be enough).

thanks for all the advice... this immigration thing is getting soooo expensive!

It may be cheaperfor you to fly to Canada and get them done! we had ours done in Vancouver $720 for a family of four irrespective of age
