Medicals in East Anglia- Anyone had one?

01-21-2007, 07:51 AM

Hi All
I'm hoping someone may have some advice. We are in rural Suffolk and
there is a choice of going to Cambridge Nuffield or a doctors practice
in Norfolk (both over an hour away) for our medicals.

I have two young children so if anyone has any experience of either of
these two for costs etc?

Many thanks

We had our medicals in Cambridge last Friday. Very polite and relaxed,
even though we both had our hearts beating ten to the dozen. Advantage
is having the medicals and x-rays at the same place. Althogether it took
us an hour from start to finish.

Hope that helps?

Hi
Thanks, yes that is helpful. I think both in one place would be helpful,
and definately great to know how long it will take because having 2
small children waiting around is not fun for them.
I'll get booking these tests then- not something I'm looking forward to
but once its done its done!

Royal Mail Intl was fine everytime we used them. And you can track via
Ausport using ref no once in Australia.

Hi
I just called Cambridge and they are now booking for March. They gave me
this website http://www.cmms.uk.net/ which has more info on it.
Prices are high, especially if you've got tattoo's!
