Default Medical in London - Not seen my GP since 2006!

Hi all,

I've just booked my medical for the CR1 visa in London. I am required to provide general medical notes from my GP. Problem is I haven't actually had to see him since 2006! I had a thorough medical last year with Bupa and have comprehensive results. What should I bring to the medical examination?

Any help gratefully received!

Thanks in advance,

Joe

I would suggest that you visit your GP for a routine exam ASAP. You can ask for your medical information at the same time.

I agree. I was in a similar situation, having not seen or even registered with a GP since I left the Army in 2008. I visited my local GP before interview and they had access to everything, including a basic summary and vaccination records from time spent in the military.

I contacted the medical people and told them I hadn't seen my GP in years and was advised just to bring my medical records.

Nope. My full records were emailed to me some time ago.

Also, if you ever decide to get life insurance not having a good record of seeing a GP/PCP is a red flag.
