nursesam Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Got our medicals on Thursday. Bit nervous as this is the last step before our grant! Anyone had them recently? How long does it take to get results? Also what actually happens on the day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobRedpath Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 where are you taking yours sam? i'm sure its nothing to worry about, as far as i am aware its a blood test, chest x ray and a chat with the doctor about your general health and lifestyle. I think you can possibly find out as soon as the next day if they have been referred or not, have you got your police checks back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moobobs Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Got our medicals on Thursday. Bit nervous as this is the last step before our grant! Anyone had them recently? How long does it take to get results? Also what actually happens on the day? Hey! We had ours on 3rd Jan at Bridgwater hospital in Manchester, really laid back and straight forward. Photo taken, height and weight checked, urine test, bloods, chest x ray and a general observation by doctor for each of us. They submitted our little girls result on the day and submitted ours the day after once bloods back. No issues at all! I'm under the impression you don't get contacted unless there is anything wrong. We got our grant 17 days later (we did get asked to provide additional evidence of Aussie employment so you may not have to wait that long if CO has all information they want) good luck x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizzywills Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 We will be going to the Bridgewater too when the time is right, glad to hear it's nice and relaxed considering we have a 2, 5 (soon to be 6) and 8 year old!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nursesam Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 Thanks guys that's eased my mind a bit! We're going to Nuffield in Plymouth... gotta leave home at 6:30 tomorrow to get there by 8:45!! Nice to know it won't take long to get results. Don't think I can put up with too much more waiting after all of this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
