Bobopaulsy Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 OK just before we book our medicals can anyone tell me is it only SPIRE HEALTHCARE who are allowed to do medicals for O Visa's in Scotland or has anyone used somewhere else. Spire are only in Edinburgh, we are in Ayrshire so it's about 90 mins away !!!!!! Just before i drag the kids across to our beloved capital city Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chook Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Sadly yes, only Spire has been given the golden handshake in Scotland. Just be glad you don't live in the outer Hebrides! The zoo is right next door so may as well make a day of it for the kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobopaulsy Posted June 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Cheers Chook...i feared that was the answer....oh well Tian Tian and Yang Guang here we come (oh yeah that costs extra as well !!!!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDK43 Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 We went to the Spire in Edinburgh, but its not the one near the zoo we went to, it was the one out near Little France at the new RIE. Donna x - it was all pretty painless and they were great with my daughter who was at the time 5. X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chook Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Sorry, didn't realise they had moved. Shame, as not much out that way for the bairns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDK43 Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 We were there about 18 months ago, so I could be out of touch, but do know they have several places. Guess they'll just have to check. And for the kids maybe the butterfly farm at Dobbies on the bypass. X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobopaulsy Posted June 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Cheers Guys, i think there seems to be 2 or 3 around the area now so will see how it goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DyLeB Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 (edited) Shawfair Park, where the medicals are is in just off the bypass, about SE of Edinburgh, we had ours in 2011, and the hospital had only been opened a year. The private hospital near the zoo was the BMI hospital but they dont do medicals there (I have chest xray there for my visa in 2006) anymore. http://www.spirehealthcare.com/shawfairpark/foreign-visa-medicals/ Edited June 26, 2013 by DyLeB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
