Re: OCTOBER 07 APPLICANTS
Only one x-ray facility in South Wales and two panel doctors.....so didn't have much choice really!!! Was expensive as the kids medicals only took 5 minutes to do

Re: OCTOBER 07 APPLICANTS
We travelled to Birmingham. Granted we went in the school hols and made a day of it but for family of 5 it saved us £500 and the meds and x-rays were done in one location.
Also Trethomas couldn't fit us in until mid Sept and I wanted to get them done sooner because of the queue in LCU. As it was I had to wait for additional medical info and they didn't get there until 10th Sept.

Re: OCTOBER 07 APPLICANTS
Yeah they are panel dr's
That's where I found their details - I did some phoning around to compare prices!If you leave a message on the answerphone (if you don't get through) they will definitely call you back.

Re: OCTOBER 07 APPLICANTS
Just thought I'd join the thread, and say getting PCC's done this weekend (will also query Dr.s for medical bookings etc).
Just me & Hubby!

Re: OCTOBER 07 APPLICANTS
With great excitement I can now add myself to the October thread
Applied this morning on line, but then the whole system went down so hopefully all went through OK, will find out if not.
Can't actually believe we've done it, I know we've a long way to go yet but its taken 6 - 7 months to get to this point and I am very happy!
Got a long list of jobs to get on with now, meds, selling house, sorting out whether dog is coming, a horse and pony to rehome,
another glass of wine needed. Oh its only 10.40, maybe a calming cup of tea then.
Good luck to all.

Have sold house and living in married quarters at mo. just need to get a job next as midwife somewhere on the sunshine coast hopefully.
will add my details to time line, good luck everyone
