Nothing to worry about. Had mine on Monday with my partner. The hour went like this:
- Weight & height measurement followed by a urine sample
- Chest X-ray
- Both in the doctors at the same time. Asked a few questions, then took blood pressure, listened to breathing, poked tummy a few times, check hands, and asked to read from an eye chart (sight test)
- Had blood samples taken.
Easy peasey.
Advice on what to wear - trousers or skirt that can be worked down your hips a little as the doctor pokes your tummy. And either a top where the sleeves roll up or no sleeves for blood test and blood pressure. It meant no stripping off at all for me with the doctor.
For the chest X-ray, both sexes have to take off their tops. I was given one of those hospital tops to wear over my top half (could keep skirt/trousers on) and was x-rayed in the top so no-one saw me naked at any time. Men just get asked to remove thier shirts and have to press against the x-ray machine half naked....and apparently it's cold!
Hope that helps - honestly though, nothing to worry about.
