in a medical exam, will this include a cancer check or something similar like a blood test to see if you have it?

Does the medical exam include a blood test to check for any diseases like Cancer?

    You would have a thorough check up but it would be best to speak to the medical team. Please phone the National Recruiting Centre for individual application issues on 03456008080.

    Hello,

    You will not undergo blood tests unless your medical history or any findings at your medical assessment indicate that you require one. If you did need one - for instance you suffer from a disease which requires you to be on certain medication - then you are likely to be asked to provide results of a blood test in advance.

    I hope that helps.
