Had medicals today
Had medicals today in Sheffield and for those that are interested it basically broke down as follows:
Chest X-ray x 2 adults - £136
HIV Blood test x 2 adults - £40
Medicals x 2 adults and 1 child (4 years old) - £190
Postage - £45.34 (they arranged it using Royal Mail International Signed For)
Total = £411.34
Not sure whether this is average/expensive?
Everything went ok, although we have to wait another week for the blood test results to come back, but I'm not expecting any problems. Also got home to find my police checks had come back clear so FULL STEAM AHEAD! Getting quite excited now, especially after seeing on people's timelines that after submitting the medicals it may only be a couple of weeks until the visa is granted. I don't want to tempt fate but I guess I should start thinking about selling the house!!

Just the usual stuff - reflexes, weight, height, flexibility, eyes, listened to my chest, vision, and a urine test of course. We only had to have the 1 blood test, for HIV. Health workers and people with tatoos/piercings also need to have a Hep B test.
