Letter from GP

[bandito 24]

Hi, just a quick question for anyone who's had to get  letter written and signed by their GP for the medical at Knightsbridge as I'm not sure how the letter should be formatted and addressed.

 

Does my Doctor need to address the letter to the Knightsbridge medical centre or is the letter just a standard doctor's note with a wet signature? If anyone could share some examples of theirs that would be very much appreciated - I'm stressing over everything!

It's a UK thing and this is the UK forum. It's a common topic here.

For any letter like this, whether for the medical or the embassy interview (or something completely unrelated to emigration), if you don’t know the name of the person who’ll be reading the letter, you should address it to ‘to whom it may concern’ or alternately, ‘Dear Sir/Madam’.

If you’ve got any serious or acute illnesses/conditions, Knightsbridge like a doctor’s letter - I had two letters covering three conditions, one from a specialist and one from my GP.

Clear/ noted.  This is a unique divergence from the typical process.

This is exactly what my surgery did - they offered a "to whom it may concern" letter and I just needed to specify what it needed to be about. I had to pay but it was reasonable.

That’s great to hear, thank you!
