Local Experts on Global Travel

Our experienced GPs provide clear advice and guidance, helping you understand what’s needed and ensuring your medical documentation is completed to a high standard. From filling out forms to managing additional tests, we’ll support you throughout the process.

Comprehensive Emigration Medicals

Every country has specific health requirements for visa and immigration purposes, and we’re here to help you navigate them. Our medicals include thorough health assessments and the completion of required forms, ensuring everything is handled correctly and efficiently. Whether you’re relocating for work, study, or family, we make sure you’re prepared with the right documentation.

Tests and Referrals

Some countries may require additional tests, such as a chest x-ray for tuberculosis screening. We can perform an in-house blood test for TB and an external referral for chest x-ray evidence. All external referrals are made to trusted local centres. Our GPs will oversee the entire process, ensuring any external tests are completed in line with your destination country’s requirements and included in your immigration paperwork.

Tuberculosis Screening

We offer in-house tuberculosis (TB) screening through simple blood tests. This non-invasive option helps meet the medical criteria for countries requiring proof of TB screening. We’ll ensure the results are quickly processed and included in your medical report, giving you peace of mind that you’re fully compliant with all health regulations.

Other Requirements

As you would expect, we can arrange other testing requirements either in-house or through a guided referral process to a trusted partner.
