Vaccination Records & Med Records from Abroad

[Laud 40]

For those doing their medical exams in London, we have 2 questions:

1. How did you get your vaccination records? Were the vaccinations listed with dates in your patient care summary sufficient?

 

2. For those who have ever lived somewhere other than the UK, did you need medical records from every county you have lived? I lived for a couple years in Geneva....

 

We have our medical on Tuesday and are so nervous! Any tips/last minute reminders would also be welcome. Thanks everyone

 The NHS patient care summary is really all the clinic wants as far as your health records. If your NHS record contains all your immunisations, then that is sufficient. (Were you a baby in Geneva getting immunisations not on your current record?)

 

Did you fill out the medical questionnaire to take with you?  Have you had any of the conditions on the questionnaire  to report? High blood pressure, diabetes, cancer, depression, heart disease, surgeries? Those need a short write-up from your GP briefly telling the details. I think I gave you examples of that before.

 

Tips: Be well hydrated. It helps your blood pressure reading. If you have ever tried any illegal drugs even once and admit it when the doc chats with you, you will have to have a urine test to check for any drugs currently in your system
