Re: Panel Doctors - Edinburgh

I had mine done at Bryden Medical in Glasgow http://www.brydenmedical.com/

I manage to save but I'm in a pretty different situation to you.

Re: So frustrating having to wait!

You'd get a relocation package through the DHB whether you get a job with the help of Tonix or not so that's not a reason not to use them (I got my first job through Tonix and negotiated my...

Re: So frustrating having to wait!

I guess its kinda up to you. Tonix wont find you jobs that aren't already available to apply for directly so its just whether you want to shop around yourself or not.

Re: Police report requirement - is that a DBS/CRB?

Ok, firstly the medical you need for your registration and the one you need for your visa are 2 very different things.

For your midwifery registration it's a pretty simple visit to your GP, do not...

Re: I bought a top loader.

I like my top loader, don't find it any different to the front loaders I had at home as far as wash quality goes. Not sure what you mean by dissolving/diluting laundry powder though, I've never done...

Re: Early hours commute from Titirangi to CBD?

I don't drive your way but I do commute from the north shore to south auckand at 6.15am.
