Question Medicals - waiting time

Hi all,

Can anyone tell me how long they had to wait from when they booked the meds to the first available medical booking slot?

Thanks
TC

ps..does the doc send the meds of for you by courier...or do you have to specify this and pay/request a dispatch confirmation.

We waited just over two weeks for an appointment. Some docs use royal mail others use a courier. Ask them when you book appointments and if they say they use royal mail then request that they send them Courier, if they refuse go somewhere else. You will have to pay extra, but at least you can track them if they go missing.

Phoned up Friday, X-rays Wednesday, Meds Friday. Sent Royal Mail (Registered, signed for) with no problems. This was in Bristol, £340 all in for a family of four.
