Hi there
Csousa I appreciate your concerns and your questions. May I be so forward and ask that you ask questions about this in the forum itself rather than in the pinned "Read Me" post.
Asking in the forum ensures that all members and lurking will have the opportunity to read your questions and respond to your inquiries.
Thanks and Happy New Year.

Re: New requirement for medical in London - May 2017
I have just received an email from Knightsbridge Doctors in preparation of my medical examination.
Among the requirements, besides the Summary of Care Record, they are asking for:
"If you have any significant/ongoing/previous medical conditions please ensure that you bring a report from your GP/Specialist/Consultant regarding this; including, medication, prognosis, management etc."
Since I have a chronic condition for which I take regular medications, I believe I need to show this report, but have no clue what it must states in addition to what is already on the Summary of Care, and neither my GP has. Has anyone produced this document? What should it contain?
My GP practice would charge me 130 pounds for a "full medical report without examination"! That's a racket!

Hi there. You will probably need to post this question in the forum itself, rather than in the pinned 'Read Me' post (see message from Rete above).
But my answer to you in brief would be to call Knightsbridge and ask them what is needed. I found them surprisingly helpful.

No, they will just give you the standard blood test that they do for every other country that doesn't vaccinate for TB, you won't even need the chest x-rays that all those who were vaccinated are required to have.
