Medical History Notes Filing
I picked up my medical history today from my GP and I was wondering how people have prepared this when taking it to the medical and embassy interviews? Did you leave it in the envelope as given by the GP or as I was thinking, putting the pages into clear sleeves then putting them into a folder or binder. I know this sounds a silly question but thought I would see whats worked for others and maybe expected by the authorities

Re: Medical History Notes Filing
I don't know about the medical, because I only picked up a letter from my GP AFTER my medical. But for my embassy interview, I took my letter out of the envelope to make a photocopy, then put it in a plastic wallet (I had a little book of 20 plastic wallets, which helped me locate each document quickly, when requested). It was fine.

Re: Medical History Notes Filing
"7. Summary of medical history from GP (NOT full medical records) and reports covering any medical conditions, disabilities, and prior serious illnesses you have been treated for or anything ongoing. This is a new requirement and may not yet be added to the checklist online or the US EMBASSY LONDON website. We will keep your medical on hold if you do not have it with you on the day of the appointment. Ask your GP for a Patient Summary "
As you have the full medical history, then it looks like you need to get the Patient Summary. The full medical history is good if you have a medical problem that needs full disclosure, i.e. a history of depression, anxiety, drinking issues, heart problems, surgery, etc. In those cases, take both.
