Does the online learning usually come out after the medical? Or run alongside it?

Not always. It's all up in the air now.

I think you guys will be getting online learning imminently and provided vetting clears folk very soon, I could see those progressed that far starting in June.

I think you could be right.

Those who's vetting clears quickly be offered June along with any 1509 leftovers

There's still people waiting for vetting...

Almost 3 years on....

That's crazy

Banterbus28

And they wonder why people moved on...

Right folks, hopefully someone can advise. Just been to my GP to book an appointment for medical, I've been told the earliest date they can give me is 4th May which is no good as it will be after my psni medical date. Any suggestions?

Lily79

I haven't done my pca yet and don't know what's involved in the appointment with your gp but if it actually necessary for an appointment? Is it possible to tell them what it's for and leave the forms in for them to complete when they can before the date you need them?

I have the same issue mate. I had no choice but to go in and speak face to face with the receptionist, explain the importance and leave it with them. Even at that they said to check back next week to see if they’ve made any progress.

I’m not very happy about having to leave it with them, but I don’t have any other option.

NiK9

Does any of your GP share their practice with other gp? If so make try and get an appointment with one of them as their practice should have the same stamp. And access to your records.

Banterbus28

You are paying the GP privately to do this for you so it isn't an NHS appointment...

I'd land at the reception desk and just hand an envelope, with the forms in it, to them marked for your GP

"Private, confidential, URGENT"

Include a little slip explaining the situation

They probs think it's a PIP/DLA/ESA/UC form you are looking signed lol

Rossco22

@Nik9 Would it have been possible to leave the forms with the GP or were you required to be present at certain parts of the medical?

jwhdkl5736

Tell the receptionist like it is. You've urgent legal documents that need filled in by tomorrow. You're willing to pay the doctor x amount of money to sign them off. It will only take him five minutes etc. That's the angle I would use. The more persistent among us get seen next day, if they can fob you off they will.

Yea i'd be prone to take the same line, have in the past and they just do what i ask now rather than fight back.

You can leave them in to be signed. I just didn't want to because it says police on the front cover lol.
Plus I wanted to ask him about a wording of a question. I fractured my collar bone when I was younger playing rugby but no trouble since. Just didn't know if I had to declare it or not. He told me to just in case and then he wrote up a bit about it too in the comments section saying it was fully healed with no problems.

Hmm, couple of years ago I broke my leg badly requiring metalwork and surgery, so I'll most likely need to be present with the GP to talk about that. I suppose I could go private as an alternative?

NiK9

Yea but who knows how much that would be lol. I'd try calling every morning and asking for a cancellation or an emergency appointment.

Rossco22

My GP is charging me £65 so might not be much difference haha. Yea might try that. Although I finish work at 6 in the morning during the week so might be tricky haha! I emailed PSNI back earlier anyway, so I'll see what they say on Monday. Cheers for the advice lads!

Something to keep in mind is that he choices for District change from course to course.

North Down, Lisburn and Antrim were all unavailable for my course but were options for the following batch.

The 'easy' districts. I wonder why no one is moving from there... :pac:

Easy districts? North down is the 2nd busiest district outside of Belfast

AC finally over. Feels like I'm playing catch up with people who've already passed PCA (congrats btw!!) I know that this has been touched on before but did anyone find upon leaving the AC that they have no idea at all whether it went horrible wrong or clicked together very well? The report writing seemed to be a downfall for me but everything else seemed to go smoothly

Same as most of us. I was happy about my role plays but report writing was my downfall too. Didn't even get last 2 bits started.

Couldnt believe it when the beeper went for the end of the exercise. I think it has been a complete disaster for me this time. Whens the next campaign rumoured to start?

NiK9

No one really knows.

Civil servants running stormount finance have agreed to a pay rise for police.
