Immigration and health concerns
 

Hi,
Has anyone recently emigrated with children? Could you tell me what health checks they ran on your child? We are in the process of getting our documents together to apply but have concerns our sons health will get us knocked back

Thank you

They do a urine test for children, but not blood. They do look at the childs general health and they will get assessed by the panel doctor, so if you child has health issues, this will probably mean his medical will get referred. Depends really on whats wrong, if anything, at the least it will probably delay you by a couple of weeks whilst they refer it.

also when we came over my kids had to have HepB injections as they had not had them in the UK but once you are signed up with a DR those HepB injections are ree
