All in One - Medicals
Hi All,
I've just called a medical centre in lovely Tees area. They told us that we would have the xray tomorrow and then go back another day to complete the pee, and blood tests. All in different buildings too! In NZ we had a medical and it lasted a few hours but all in one building. Half a day off work, only! Do different centres have different facilities, and some offer all in one? thanks |

Re: All in One - Medicals
hiya
we had our x-rays done last week and our medicals this morning. I think the reason for this is that x-rays tend to be done in hospitals where as the medicals are normally just office like buildings or were in our case caz |
Re: All in One - Medicals
we're just over the border in cumbria... xrays next week at the infirmary... said we can wait if they're not flat out busy and we can take them with us then, or we can call back the next day... could have had meds the same/next day at the surgery a mile away, but we've arranged at our convenience for end of month...
i gather some establishments (p'raps in london and glasgow?) have everything under one roof - dedicated immigration medical places maybe rather than a gp that does it as a sideline? |
Re: All in One - Medicals
We had our medicals and then went down the road to the private hospital to have our x-rays, all done in a couple of hours, that was Dr Chapman near Heathrow (and he was cheap).

Just getting quotes for ours, & was only looking at IOW, Southampton, Chichester but popping up to London may be more cost effective - could tie it in with visit to family.:) |
Re: All in One - Medicals
we were 160 for both our x-rays and for medicals we were 250 each and 70 for 2 year old plus 10 for postage
hope this helps caz |

If you don't mind me asking, how much did it cost & did it include all the blood tests etc?

Re: All in One - Medicals

Re: All in One - Medicals
We had ours done in Manchester (Dr Million and Dr Smith) all in the same building - it was really quick and the staff where great. :thumbsup:
Cost £326 each for x-rays, blood tests and medicals. |
Re: All in One - Medicals
We've just booked ours for the 21st Oct. We booked the medicals for 1230, then rang the hospital for the x-rays & they booked us in at 11am, same day & only a couple of miles up the road! :thumbsup:
This is at Sheffield. The x-rays are gonna be £75 each. The medicals are £60 each per child & £120 each per adult. Any extra blood tests are between £55-86 each (depending which they are!) So should be <£600 for all 4 of us :D I thought that was pretty reasonable! Especially as I was quoted £407 each (£90 for the kids) if we had them done at Nottingham! That would have been just short of £1000!! :eek: |
Re: All in One - Medicals
I've just been quoted £703 all in for 2 adults one child under 5 in Manchester same place as MintyNZ. How soon did you get yours back MintyNZ?

Re: All in One - Medicals
x-rays £40 each
medicals £90 each adult, £70 child blood tests £110 each so £550 for 2 adults and 1 child in carlisle... xrays at hosp (an hour turnaround and it was busy) then meds at the health centre a mile away (haven't done that bit yet, we arranged to suit us for nxt week) but it could have been the same day |
Re: All in One - Medicals
We got the medicals back in 9 working days and we've both checked out ok.
We've got all the documents we need now, so I'm over the moon. :thumbsup: |
Re: All in One - Medicals
WOW, what a reply, and what a difference between prices. We've now had the x-rays done and they were £75 each, well my wife is pregnant so it was one person cheaper ;-)
The prices we were quoted at a recommended medical centre Nth Ormesby Health village, Middlesbrough, were: Adult medical: £150.00 Admission: £30.00 and then the compulsory blood tests... VDRL (Syphillis): £20.50 FBC: £6.20 HIV: £20.50 Hepatitis B: £20.50 Serum creatinine: £31.50 Liver Function Test: £14.50 Possible further test: Fasting blood suger: £4.50 Fasting Lipids: £17.50 HbA1C: £8.00 Stool (culture) £12.00 Stool (parasite): £12.00 Etc etc... Altogether for two people A total of: £837.40 if we need all the compulsory tests. I think I'm going to call around for better prices. Thanks again |
