Gutted for you mate and wish you all the best on your appeal.

If colour blindness is a fail, why not state that at the very beginning on the join psni page rather than wasting the guts of a year of someone's life.

It does state that severe colourblindness is not allowed, however as I have mild I assumed there would be no issues. I'll appeal and see what happens, just horrible that my dream career choice is on its way out the window by the looks of it.

Sorry to hear that; definitely worth an appeal.

It ain't over till its over! I dont know what the appeal process is like, but if I were you I would be going now to get a professional opinion on your level of colour blindness so that you can take this to the appeal. Get your doc to refer you or get a written opinion from an Ophthalmologist. As you say, it is only severe colourblindness that is not allowed, so you need to be able to prove yours isnt severe. It might cost you a few quid for the assessments but it is worth it if this is your dream!!

Medical done today, not sure if I've passed the eye test or not, just got to wait for the results..

this is my worry.. Have my medical soon & it's the only bit I'm worried about.. Do you wear contacts to the medical.. I can see clearly with them in but am short sighted in my left eye...

I wore mine to the medical. I took them out for part of the test and back in again after. Probably easier if you wear glasses to be fair.. My prescription is -1.5 and -1.75 and I breezed through it

Ive had laser eye surgery but still have a lazy eye, hopefully find out tomorrow.

Guys, if you fail on the eye sight, go for laser eye surgery immediately phone them and say ive just had laser eye surgery and they will usually accept that - I know a few in the job who did exactly that as at this point they have spent alot of money on you so its in their interests to take you.

Legally clueless

Hey guys maybe this has been answered already but how long roughly to get medical results. I completed mine in the last few days but no word yet

El Ahrairah

I heard back from mine exactly a week later. I have seen someone who heard sooner but don't panic if it's only been a few days!

Legally clueless

Thanks - I had no referrals and didnt need to see the doc so thought it would come back quickly. Will hold out another few days

swl33t

The guy doing the drug tests said theyre doing reports today so should hear today, fingers crossed

swl33t

This is my most painful wait to date arghhh

Even for those of us who done the medical yesterday?

swl33t

Yeah i had mine yesterday

swl33t

Possibly not given none of us have heard at this stage

mkelly123

I done my medical couple weeks ago, it was straight forward like most of unes have stated, Took just short of a week until I got the result.

From what I gather if you fail you get contact via letter if you pass its by email.

swl33t

I'm officially going insane waiting

WannabePC123

Just found out I passed the medical! Over the moon!!

Barkly

Same as above!!

swl33t

I passed! Quite possibly a bigger relief than any exam ive ever sat!

Legally clueless

Me too.....I am super chuffed....this was definitely the most anxious wait to date

Tackleberry1

Same here, just so I'm clear, now we're waiting for a phone call to tell us when we're in or letter to tell us we've failed the drugs test?

roboturnip

Failed the medical due to being diagnosed in the past with anxiety. It's very slight and whilst I understand their reasons for failing me, i really don't think it would have any impact on my capabilities to do the job. I plan to appeal the decision, if anyone has any experience with the process, any advice would be greatly appreciated. Totally devastated to fall at the last hurdle

D4z

Anyone know how long an appeal takes before you hear back?

swl33t

Any luck d4z?
