| Posted about 1 year ago its not so bad I've had mine done recently as I also start in Sept! they do bloods to check for chicken pox hep b hiv etc, have a brief chit chat about any issues, allergies, treatment history etc and give you any vaccination that you may need (ie if you havent had your MMR, or Meningitis) and then you get a fitness to practice form! I had to have the dreaded BCG at mine urgh! |

| Posted about 1 year ago lol No! I wear glasses and contacts too, I think if you had a vision defect that couldnt be corrected with lenses then it may need to be discussed as to your requirements for taking part in the course... dont worry! x |
