Doctors reports
Hi,
I read in an emigrate magazine that you need to get copies of your doctors reports to take to NZ with you. My wife made some enquiries about this today and got the impression that this wasn't normal practice and would cost £££s
Did anybody bother to do this, is it something that a NZ doctor would require when registering with them?
Many thanks

If your medical history uncomplicated I wouldn't worry too much.

We got ours, mine and my daughters cost about £40 for both and I can't remember how much my husbands's cost. I think it really depends on the doctors practice.

Re: Doctors reports
Thanks for the replies, I think we're not going to bother, nothing much of interest on them anyway probably!
I thought it was something that was needed by the NZ doctors but seems not to be the case...one less thing to worry about

Re: Doctors reports
When you go to register with a GP in NZ you'll be invited to see a nurse for an enrolment appointment, when you get asked a whole heap of questions about your health, past medical history, current medications, any allergies etc, and also a bit about any relevant family history. They'll also be interested in your immunisation history. If you know all that stuff and it's not complicated then I'm not convinced that it's necessary to get copies of your medical records from your current GP. If it's easy & inexpensive I'd recommend doing it, or if you have any complicated illnesses or surgeries (either past or present) that you don't know all the details about then it's worth getting copies.
For what it's worth I didn't bother for myself or my family, and it's not been a problem, but, healthwise at least, we're straightforward and I'm happy that I know all the relevant family medical history.
