Good Evening All,

I havent logged in for a while, ive been really depressed.
My CB ESA has now ceased :(
Ive now got a date for my medical, i really didnt think i'd have to go through it all again ! i filled out the ESA50, and added extra information.
I thought it would have been enough, but yet again, i get to go through the ordeal :ohmy:
The last Health care professional who did my medical, qualified as a GP in Sept 2009 and did my medical in Nov 2009 !!??? I thought they were supposed to have 3 years training afterwards ??
Has anyone been to a medical at Rutland House in Leicester ?
Just getting really anxious, i dont think i can go through another appeal :(

To the best of my knowledge, once a doctor qualifies as a GP, it will be from the date they satisfy the GMC conditions.

You have to remember that a medical student studying to be a doctor has to study for 5 years, and work in a hospital setting as doctor for a further two years before they decide which field they wish to specialise in.

GP's have to undertake further studies before they can be a GP, and pass even more exams before they can become a Member of the Royal College of GP's (MRCGP)

Health Care Professionals working under contract for the DWP can now be GP's, Consultants, Nurses, Physiotherapists or Occupational Therapists.

Thanks to Pata1, my wife and a former Staff Nurse wi for briefing me on these requirements.
