Was told not to forget to bring a couple of passport photos with you on the first day. Need them for our I.D. badges to be made up in the first week.

Do we have to bring them still or do the ones we uploaded to moodle count?

Don't think there is a deadline but get it back asap.
The prelearning stuff is just reading a few pages and doing a quiz. Get them wrong, try again.

Hey guys was just wondering what exactly the medical involves does everyone have to get the bloods done or once you can prove you have vaccines does that cover it

Proof of clearance is good enough

No jeans, runners or t-shirts. Then NAS uniform once it's issued to you.

You ll get,

your BMI (if you're classed as obese you'll get a "fitness" test there and then)
Eye test/colour (need to get hearing done yourself)
Lung capacity test
bloods drawn
urine screening
blood pressure
lots of questions to answer
try to get proof of BCG, MMR and anything else you may have had

Normally 2 weeks of induction a week observing on ambulance then 10-11weeks of intense theory.
