What We Offer in Adoption Medicals
Convenient Medical Assessments for Adoption Applicants
Our expert team provides comprehensive medical evaluations required for adoption. We handle both initial assessments for new applicants and review assessments for approved adopters.

The Adoption Medicals Assessment Process
AH Medical (Initial Adoption Application)
For new applicants, the adoption medicals assessment requires a GP appointment. During this appointment, we review your medical records, complete Form AH (Adult Health Report), and conduct a physical health check, including measuring height, weight, blood pressure, and a urine dip test. If any concerns arise, we may recommend further examinations or referrals to ensure a thorough assessment.
To prepare, ensure you have access to your GP medical records and that all necessary forms are completed in advance. This helps streamline the process and prevents unnecessary delays.

AH2 Medical (Review for Approved Adopters)
For approved adopters, the adoption medicals review does not require a GP appointment. Instead, we assess your medical form and updated records, complete the necessary documentation, and submit it to your adoption agency. This ensures your continued eligibility without additional appointments.
To make the process as smooth as possible, we recommend having all relevant medical records ready before submission. Our goal is to keep things efficient, allowing you to focus on preparing for your future family without unnecessary waiting times.
