    This link provides some of the medical conditions which may mean you are not able to join or have to wait to join. However, this list is not exhaustive and each individual will be assessed by the medical team on a case by case basis.

    You will be sent forms asking about your medical history once you've submitted your application.

    The medical team assess everyone individually, and make their decisions based on their professional opinion in keeping with prescribed army standards. These standards and guidelines are reviewed and amended regularly.
