Hi All

Hope you can help. Did a searchg but didn't find much.

My FAC with Surrey is up for renewal in a few months. My GP surgery is good but pretty difficult to access anything other than urgent matters.

Med Cert seem to offer a full service. has anybody used them?

Thanks for any info.

Yeah - I've used Medcert.

Here's what to do - GET YOUR OWN NHS RECODS - your surgery is obliged to supply them within 30 days.

Send them to Medcert with your £50 - should get a reply within about 3 weeks.

Its £60.00 now , unless you have discount .

Some forces may require you to get another cert when you come to renew .

I dont know about other forces but the medical part of the application from Merseyside is 5 pages .

And they want to know if a "firearms aoplication flag" has been placed on your medical records .

Worked fine for me, my GP is not keen on firearms, Medcert seemed an easy solution.

My local medical practice had allowed their personal prejudices to influence surgery policy (until they discovered they could charge £90 for the fatuous bureaucratic tick-box process).

I expressed my dissatisfaction to the surgery manager and opted to use MedCert who provided the medical proforma within 6 weeks over the Xmas and New Year period.
