    Yea Dromore, you get results near the end of the working day when they’ve finished all the medical for that day, though they will tell you as you pass each stage!

    For fast track there were 114 got the email at the one time. Not too sure if that’s going to be the trend throughout but if they’re up to 220 now it would seem so.

    Just thought i’d update, I got PCA date too, ML 200-220 also.

    Would any of the fast trackers be willing to PM me about what the medical entails and how in depth they go into your record? Have a few sports injuries in the past / surgery and feeling nervous about it :/

    Feel free to pm me if you like. I have a medical condition but I didn’t need to see the Dr so can give you info about the nurses role but that’s it I’m afraid.

    That varies as medical takes time and are all individual. I was also told medicals only run 2 days a week. Mine was soon after PCA, my friends is still a good few weeks away given our PCA was a day apart. Sorry I don’t want to be too specific in case I get into trouble lol

    There's a part in the med questionnaire that your GP will say yes or no to a series of questions.

    If your GP states that they have no concerns about you carrying out strenous activity i dont see there being much of an issue.

    Medical is not simply pass or fail.

    There are a couple of pass levels.

    One being fully fit for role and full pension benefits, another being fully fit for role reduced ill health pension benefitd and another being fit for role and no ill health pension benefits

    Additionally the police are not fully DDA exempt so they have to consider a reasonable adjustment that is not at detriment to the service

    In regards to the pca. Do you get a quick walk through on the day of the test? I can't make the practice day.

    Yea but it wouldn't really give you an appreciation of it. Basically get comfy with each obstacle quickly.
