Thanks for the question,
In terms of the selection medical you will be seen by a Doctor to check that you are healthy enough to take part, and to join the Army. The tests will not hurt you and don't involve taking blood or the use of needles.
You will have a full assessment, which will include looking at your past medical history, your current health and a top-to-toe medical examination along with some other tests. This means that you will be asked to undress down to your underwear for the examination.
Although some of your medical records have been considered already a ‘Pass’ outcome is not guaranteed until the doctor has fully considered both your medical records and a face-to-face consultation with you.
In some cases further information, referral or consideration by the senior Army Doctor in charge of recruiting is needed after your medical to ensure that the correct decision is made about you.
Hope this helps.
