    If coming up by train for the medical how long would it take to go to the medical venue. Is there a bus taht goes or how much would a taxi cost?

    You could get a train from belfast to carrickfergus and get a taxi, yeah. The venue isn't that far from the centre of carrickfergus so I'd say a taxi would be no more than £5 tops. Though You'd needa make sure you were running half an hour early just to be on the safe side!!
    Knowing translink you'd probably need to be running a day early!!

    Congrats to everyone on merit placements.... we have all done so very well considering the phenomenal numbers of folk that applied.:D

    Can I just ask if anyone who has scored in the 300s has had word of a medical date yet? I have had vetting, sent off beg' Sept, don't know if completed, and I know that there are lots of appointments for medicals already booked for the next while but not necessarily sent out yet (as i rang and asked, however, I was too chicken to as if one for myself was there in black and white!)

    O dearie me, am not sure i could go through all the angst again in C15.... ha ha who am I kiddin!

    I sent of my vetting beg of Aug - no medical date. Scored high 300s. Too chicken to phone and ask when vetting letter clearly says not to. Hate all the waiting around.

    sorry if this has been asked before, looked through a fair amount of pages and couldn't find anything.

    Where do you find your merit pool number?

    Sent my vetting forms off at the start of Aug and heard nothing since.
    Starting to get slightly worried.

    Hi Chris,

    You need to ring up 02890 650222 and ask for recruitment, have your UID number ready and ask them what your merit score is...they will be able to give it to you.

    great thanks very much,
    sorry, one more........

    i've read about people getting a call about the medical,
    do they send you a letter or do they ring you?

    I had a missed call from a number i didn't recognise the other week and just ignored it. Now i'm really regretting not ringing it back.:(

    For my medical, i got a letter, you always get a letter, even if they call and you miss it, a letter will always be sent out too! Don't worry too much about it mate, it'll be in the post somewhere!;)

    Does anyone know roughly this year how long medical results take to come out?
    I know they say two weeks, but sometimes its earlier/later?
    Also, I asked the man yesterday taking the hair sample( who left me with a HUGE bald patch btw, not a good look for a gal!) about the results for those and he said they get sent back to Occupational Health, so if you get a pass letter for medical does that mean you have passed both, or has anyone received seperate letters?

    i rang up, i caved, i feel wick now. Pestering the poor staff at recruitment, the girl was lovely on the phone though. So, I asked if I had a medical scheduled, the answer was no, just to to wait. :(

    I wonder if it is in order of who's vetting is completed, mine will likely take ages 'cos ive lived everywhere. :o

    Squirrell,

    I think I am going to have to just wait like yourself now on a med, I think we are both in a very similar boat....score wise and medical wise etc....

    Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Sounds glamourous eh? I suffered a bit from I was a kid until a few years ago. Free from symptoms now but still a bit worried.

    nah im sure that it will be grand, would be different if you have still got the symptons. your doctors report should clear it up!

    This may also sound stupid, but why are they recording if you ring up re merit number etc?

    i dont mean recording but they obviously know if you have already rang up about your merit number, she was able to say that i rang up yesterday. maybe i just got the same person but didnt they could remember specific people with the number of people ringing up, especially yesterday!

    sure you will be fine, i think with illnesses and such they will look at how it impacted on your day to day life, ie if you carried on working without any problems and it didnt cause much disruption then it cant be much of a barrier.

    That sounds confusing,:confused: sorry, my brains fried... all this iffing and ahhing :p
