    Hey all, I had my PCT postponed due to an injury and it's coming close to my 'recovery' date, so I'll probably be doing it in Feb.
    Does anyone have a PCT date for Feb yet?

    Had mine the second week of January. Can't say that I had too much trouble. The nurse will check your blood pressure, peak flow reading and conduct the hearing test. The nurse will also take your height and weight (to calculate BMI) and take a urine sample from you.

    The doctor will subsequently do a general check up on you and test your eyesight. You will be required to complete a form in advance of seeing either the nurse or the doctor on which you declare any existing conditions where applicable.

    I found it to be fairly straight forward - I figure if you are in a position to pass the pct, the medical should not present too many issues.

    My vetting is still not complete so just hoping an offer comes through for the next intake - keeping everything crossed!

    Hope that helps!

    Is there usually long between PCT and the medical? I have my PCT on 4th February and hoping I will get the medical before the end of February

    I did indeed. All they said is that it is not yet complete. Unable to provide any idea of when it might be done.

    Assuming I'll have mine on this day, feeling slightly nervous. I have a PT session booked for today, hoping that will provide some reassurance - or at least give me a clear idea of what I have to grind at in the next few weeks!

    Have you been doing practice tests yourself?

    I would suggest calling HRM early in the morning and explaining your situation on the phone to them - they might issue you another date but under the stipulation that you 'must' attend the alternative PCT or else your application will be terminated. Whatever works out for you, just be careful on the roads!

    Has anyone been contacted regarding starting in the college on February 3rd yet?

    Hi guys, was just wondering if anyone had any information on if you get an offer to go start in Templemore but you are in your final year of your degree. I currently have everything done and am waiting on vetting to be completed then I’m ready to go and next intake is in April, I’ll not be done college until May? Any tips or advice?

    Is there an intake on the 3rd February? Completed the medical on 9th Jan and waiting for vetting to be completed.

    I think they have an option for you to defer until you complete your studies. No guarantees vetting will be done in time for April however. In the same boat as yourself - all stages finished but vetting still outstanding but aware there are people waiting since last September/October for a date.
