Got a letter for the medical this morning, in a couple of weeks time

Oh get me home! I want to know lol picking up my medical questionnaire from GPs today, they finally have it filled in. Can't believe have to pay a tenner.

Nothing yet for myself! Had to send off something to Vetting earlier in week.. All this talk of merit list being established once all AC's are finished is in the back of my mind too.. Anyone else not working at the moment? Makes the waiting game a lot like this...

Lucky you, I'm still in limbo, not got a medical date, hoping they are sent alphabetically and I get one tomorrow.

Anyone else plan on having a peak to see if the e-learning is available at 12?

Guessing you lot are first batch, us ones getting passes there are 2nd batch. Wonder how many to date have passes?

The GP forms...was that a oart of vetting or are you asked to get it for the medical?

whatinthe

If you pass the PCA, it's part of the Medical Questionnaire that you will then bring with you to Medical.

You must be bald, this mane and beard have cultivated on me for years. Shaving for the AC was the hardest thing I've done in years.

Got medical letter today! Another roadtrip :D:D

Still no medical letter for me However, going by those who have received them it would seem you all sat your PCA on the first day in the morning or noonish session. Did anyone have their PCA in the third session and receive a medical letter yet?

Don't stress yourself mate. I am in the same boat as we sat our PCA at the same time they must be sending them out in order completed. (Remember the circles of influence)

It will probably come early next week as it takes a lot longer to schedule medicals than it does PCA because each one take approx 1 hour

Here's a q for anyone whose serving/got to medical stage before... What kinda things do they fail you on? Would something like being on antidepressants be likely to cause problems?

I would be lying if I said I knew for sure but I think that it would depend on the reason for it as you would be going into a very stressful job and have witness some awful scenes in the line of duty. I think OHW may question you on this matter quite thoroughly.

I imagine so. I'm on the lowest dose possible at the mo, basically I'm coming off them but you have to stop taking them slowly so obv even if I'm on none come medical time (if I've passed my ac lol) there will be recent notes of them on my medical record. Could prove interesting at medical..

The medical questionnaire which you receive after passing the Pca does ask questions which you have to answer and then your gp has to sign, I can't remember exactly what the questions are but some would definitely be relevant to your question.

A few weeks from now (Don't want to be too specific)! Got a chance yesterday to properly look at the online learning, I find it very interesting.

I was first session on day two and not got mine yet. I was thinking of calling OHW if I don't hear anything by end of week.

My medical invite has just arrived today. A couple of weeks to get ready for it.
