    This is a long shot, but has anyone had their medical deferred until you follow up with a letter from their opticians or doctor? Mine was deferred for 6 months until I got a letter from specsavers. I dropped it back up on the day of my medical. Rang them there to see if it will still be deferred 6 months and her response was could be 2 weeks or 6 months. Just wondering if anyone has been in a similar situation.. thanks

    Thanks for that, I done my pct last Tuesday the 18th and passed everything and have received no word of a medical yet. I was expecting it this week or to have at least got a date for it but nothing has come threw.

    I guess I'll just have to hold tight for another while

    Congrats on passing everything, sounds like it's just a waiting game for you now 😉

    It's very basic, it's like a disposable plastic thing you blow into, even with a chest infection, donr see any issue with you passing it, have no idea on the pass rate but chest infection should not hinder result

    Does the gp clearance have to be from your family gp or can it be someone else like your team doctor for example? He’s also a gp

    You just have to take off your shoes and socks when you’re being weighed by the nurse. No need for a change of clothes.

    thanks i think i might just get the train to heuston on the day. would you happen to know what chart the nurse uses for your bmi or is a digital scales they use. for me the bmi is going to be a stuggle. at the minute im 30.4 but when i google it some websites vary a small bit. Id like to know going in what to expect.

    The nurse calculates your BMI using a digital scale

    Hey guys, so I'm from the 2018 campaign. Been a long wait but I finally got called for induction in April!
    Just to let ye know I have never ever lived abroad, I have no reletives abroad and I even had a meeting with the chief super in my local station who told me I would be in the April intake last year so please don't get your hopes up.
    Iv figured it's when you least expect it, I had gotten over it and over the idea as it was so dragged out so it was a massive shock when I got word a week ago. Now all my plans are out the door but what can you do only hope it is worth it!!

    I'm working away until May. The induction isn't paid so they can't expect us to go them two weeks without pay?

    Hi guys.

    When the references you named are called, are they telephoned by Garda HR or by the Super and Sargent you meet?

    Hi guys just a question for anyone who has been called for induction, do you get contacted for induction by email or is it a phone call? My phone was stolen on Saturday so I haven't been receiving any calls until I buy a new one.

    One must be an academic reference. The next two are general references. (One of which needs to be a previous employer if applicable) and they need to know you at least 3 years.:D
