    Anyone know if any medicals or Physicals have been booked in for January, before the calls go out for the Jan intake?

    So are you saying there will be medicals and physicals again in January before the actual calls go out for January intake.

    Induction weeks are the 14th and 21st of Jan with the class starting the 28th so offers will be mid December

    I know that's how it's supposed to happen in theory but as what has happened with all the latest intakes, they have failed to meet the required quota of circa 200 within the announced timeframe so have instead delayed the call outs right up to even a week before entering Templemore.
    That's why i'm trying to find out here if any medicals and physicals are booked in for January as I expect call outs to drag out right up to the second induction week.

    That would be for the final 50 at a push, first 100/150 offers be mid December and then offers will be going out in small blocks up until Jan

    I doubt there will be medicals. They will have more physicals in January if they’re struggling to fill the intake. It’ll be a last minute physical though as it happened to me but I deferred it. The intake was announced and then they emailed me saying would I be willing for a retest for the fitness within my deferral period. It was less than a weeks notice they gave me a date for. So it will be possible for them to do fitness tests after the intake is announced.

    If you have been training it will be no bother to you. Give it your all! Good luck, let us know how it goes. And don't forget to rest on the few days prior to it, that's probably the best advice I got.

    I rang them last week after taking a month off from annoying them :-D

    Got the good news that vetting was complete.
    I asked when next offers were out & was told not till January which I thought was strange.

    Do you mean you have been signed off already??

    Not sure. I never asked. She just said my vetting had come back and was cleared and complete?

    I was just so excited not hearing "vetting outstanding" that I never questioned it further.

    I might ring again in a week or two to double check.

    Oh great stuff! Good to hear invites go out in January for you. Hoping I get a date for my PCT in January.

    Are they doing PCT’s before medicals in this campaign? That’s new if they are. Might help things move quicker

    Yes they are. They said in Templemore on Saturday that this time we will get a form to be completed by our GP to give us sign off to do the PCT. Then if we pass that we do the medical.

    There will be 8 lanes for the fitness test.

    As a side note, can we try and keep this thread relevant to January intake only?

    There are people in this thread who have finished everything and are waiting for a call. This thread is useful for us all to see where we are.

    There is another thread for those who want to discuss stage 4 and all questions about the fitness have been answered and can be discussed in there.

    Hoping for January intake but vetting still outstanding. Worst case scenario if I don't get this intake does anybody have any idea when the next 1 or 2 intakes will be? Need to decide what I'm going to do after Christmas if not called for Jan. Thanks

    Hey,

    Anyone been in the system more than a year? I rang HRM today cause I Passed my re test physical on Saturday and was told my vetting had to be done again. Has this happened to anyone? Does it take the same time?

    Sorry to hear that! I think we've all been in the system longer than a year at this, closer to 2 years in fact, but medical and physical have been completed well inside the past 12 months.

    It's the first time I've heard of somebodies vetting needing to be completely re-done, my immediate thought was that they'd either lost your vetting file or hadn't started the process in the first place.

    My advice would be to kick up a bit of a fuss about it, stay in constant contact with them, and hope it gets fast-tracked.

    All the best!

    WTF!!! Just can't win. Was your vetting complete prior to re-test or was your vetting status always incomplete?

    Sounds odd, many people on this forum have been accepted to templemore lately from September 16 recruitment drive which in itself implies a longer than 1 year wait on vetting and are are getting called.
    I've never heard of anyone on this having this same issue.

    Did they say they received your results yet from Saturday? I did mine Saturday too and they said they haven’t received results yet.

    Word from who? Is this speculation from trainees down there? The government have recently, and very publicly, committed to taking in 800 new recruits in 2019, and have already provided the funds to do so. Based on what was said here they struggled to fill the last intake, but to completely suspend this intake would be a bit of a step. Especially considering that there will be likely 100-300 new recruits from the 2018 campaign ready in the next few months.

    I’m from the 2017 campaign and I was on to HRM this morning about my vetting but was told it was outstanding but wouldn’t tell me why! Do they normally say why or is just the person I got on the phone? I’ve passed everything so just waiting for this!
