Medical and insurance appointments

Medicals often have a questionnaire that is associated with the examination. You will need to check if the medical requires any testing: eyesight, hearing, breathing or blood tests. Please then contact our staff with your requirements, and they will book the appropriate appointments.  You will need to complete your part of the questionnaire before attending the appointment.
