Can any one help, looking to go for our medicals in the next 2-3 months hopefully. Can anyone tell me what they do and look for, I know they do a chest x-ray but what else do they do.

Hi,

 

it includes:

 

1: medical examination

2: chest-xray

3: blood test for HIV

 

hope this info helps.

They also weigh you, measure your height, a quick eyesight check (read the letter chart from across the room), and not forgetting the all-important wee-into-the-jar test...

we just had ours last week in edinburgh, was much simpler than i was expecting. First I went into toilet to give urine sample, then into nurses room where she does height, weight, eye test(didnt even ask to read bottom 2 lines), blood pressure then blood for HIV test. only took 5 mins. Then into doc and he checked the medical history questions we filled out prior to coming were correct. Then jumped on bed and he listened to chest, heart, lungs and had a little prod around tummy and look in eyes and ears. didnt have to undress which was a relief! then through to get chest xray, all together probably another 10 minutes after nurses checks.
