Well done on the medical

Hi
On the Consensia website for PSNI the eyesight requirements are stated to be minimum of 6/6 unaided or aided and 6/12 if visual aids used.... as clear as mud eh? Anytime I have had my eyes tested I am told my prescription in terms of -0.5 or something like that!
Am also wondering about the whole medical thing, did my ac last few days in July, I sent my vfs off at beginning of Sept, my merit score was mid 300, am non rc, I was sure that I'd have heard something by now.... starting to get well p'd off!0 -

Hiya, yes it's very difficult to understand but this is what I showed to my optician (from the Consensia website)
Binocular vision 6/6 aided or unaided
(if visual aids are used must have 6/12 or better in best eye)
Unaided acuity 6/36 binocularly
Near vision N6 aided or unaided
Normal visual fields
Severe colour deficiency not acceptable
The part that reads 6/12 in best eye if aided, means 6/12 when wearing glasses/lenses.
The unaided acuity 6/36 binocularly is what you need to be able to see without glasses/lenses.
You'd think I was actually in with a chance of getting a medical, wouldn't you?
Well there's always C15....

im more worried about the hearing test than the eyesight one. I once had a hearing test in a previous job, and although I passed it, it really flustered me. Too many bl**dy beeps! You come out of it paranoid that what you heard wasnt a beep at all

i think the hearing test is straight forward. they have a level you have to reach. handy enough. i did hearing test for fire service and that would be more harder than police hearing test i think.0 -

How pointless and how very potentially a waste of money. Doing a medical now and then sending out vetting which could take anything up to a year to complete, in which time, anything could happen to render you unfit for duty. Hardly a sensible nor a wise use of resources.
If the people are from an RC background, then it would make perfect sense to send out vetting forms. I wouldve thought that they'd send them out before the medicals. Recruitment really works in mistererious ways.
To those who got the invites - Don't let our confusion spoil things. Congratulations. 0 -

Sent my appeal letter and suporting information away, they have received it but not replied as yet, though it is only a matter of days into the process. I am wondering if I am able to wear an aid which would improve my hearing would I be able to get in. It is only one ear affected you see (or rather "you hear" lol).
PS I wasn't being smart. I am genuinely worried I will be refused. I have a high merit place and am as keen as mustard to get in. I know serving officers who are as deaf as posts, its all to do with getting in at the start.
I'm glad you weren't being smart - otherwise my earlier reply would've sounded stupid . I hope you get the go ahead and they don't keep you waiting too long! Good luck,
