shelz Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Hi, will be organising medicals in the not too distant future and will probably travel over to Manchester. There's the Spire Hospital and Medmigration to choose from, anybody had any experience of either please. Thanx maisie Hello, We had our medicals with Medmigration at Bridgewater Hospital in Manchester - pleased with the process and Dr was pleasant and nice with my 2 mis-behaving boys! (Couldn't believe after speaking with them beforehand to be sensible and well behaved they were winding each other up resulting in the boys being hysterical and taking no notice of me from the examining table!) Reports for the boys were uploaded same day and ours 2 days later once blood test results back. They were slightly cheaper too :-) = always helpful when the whole process costs a fortune! Hope that helps :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobby122 Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 I too was wondering the answer to this, Manchester being closest to me. What's the waiting time like for an appointment - days, weeks, months? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r0bsk1 Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Hi, i've also recently been to Medmigration at the bridgewater. The appointment was made on the tuesday for the following friday. School holidays are busy times. We were in and out before our appointment time. We're on a 457 and was decided bloods and xray were not required.

It seemed you were able to book ahead and we didnt need to pay until after the medicals :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macca10 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I am waiting for my CO to be assigned and was wondering if anyone can advise me about medicals for kids? Is there an age limit for those who have to have a medical? I thought I had read before that children under eleven don't need a medical. Is this the case? or is it a case by case and depends on the visa you apply for? Any info would be great. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CollegeGirl Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 No, kids still need a medical, they just don't get the whole shebang - can't remember if it's the blood test they skip or the xray or what. But they still need a medical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Children under 11 years still need a medical - thy dont have the blood test or x-ray if you are in UK :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macca10 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 College girl and Shelz, thanks for your replies. After looking more closely at my immi account and printing the medical forms on there I see now what the medicals entail for all. Medicals are booked for Easter Monday which will hopefully be the final piece of the jigsaw!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Roberto Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 (edited) We found the medicals to be a bit weird and unpleasant. Probably nothing to do with the place that did them (spire manchester), but strange. Not something you'd choose to do, but it's a means to an end. in all fairness, that was the last thing we had to do for our visa. 2 weeks later it was granted Edited March 21, 2015 by Captain Roberto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not looking forward to it much I have to say! regards maisie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Roberto Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 (edited) It was just standard stuff. Asked questions. Blood tests. BP etc. but cos its for your visa it felt a bit tense. Prob more to do with how we felt. Kids found it a bit weird. normally when I've been to the quacks, I don't have my wife and all my kids with me. It's a means to an end I guess! Just something to be got out of the way Edited March 22, 2015 by Captain Roberto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
