Lol true. One reason why they need to the tests is because sometime you may lose your immunity. Another is that they might not trust all the info from people's records etc. Most people get immunised from loadsa places and the data isn't necessarily centrally collated.

so will we get another chance to go through all those immunisations, cos the local nurse was the one who filled up my medical form and quite frankly missed out nearly everything because of what you just said... i just hope i dont need any more of those nasty shots.. ive taken enough and still need to have blood taken from me

I think everyone will get an appointment with Occupational Health who will look at the list you sent and fill in any gaps. They may test a few things too. All this is mainly to get a little blue card which shows any hospital/practice that you're fully immunised :smile:

I don't think you would need it for the first two years, necessary for clinicals tho. The only thing on top of my head is a medical dictionary - but you'll get a free one when u sign up to one of the defence unions.

Just came back from rome and while i was there i got a letter through reminding me i hadn't returned occupational health form with a deadline that wud have been and gone while i was still on holiday. i ended up having to make v. expensive calls to the occupational health place from just outside St. Peter's Basilica at the Vatican. Turns out althought the remidnerletter they send its very official they don't really mind if what u send them isn't actually complete which was good.

It's been ages since I last posted on here have been busy working. It seems to me that I am the only one who hasn't even had a look at the social calendar. What's all this talk about a fresher's pass? ( I know I should read the fresher's pack but let's just say I dpn't like too many words.) Do you have to pay for the fresher's pass? Finally are you guys all going to meet up somewhere on the 2nd? I need some answers as it looks like working 10 hour days has kind of left me in dark when it comes to anything concerning university. Thanks.
