If you need an immigration medical examination in London for a UK visa application, Clinique Alpa in Palmers Green offers same-day appointments with a GMC-registered doctor. We provide the medical assessments, TB screening, and health certificates required by UK Visas and Immigration — efficiently, professionally, and without unnecessary delay.
What Is an Immigration Medical?
An immigration medical is a health assessment required as part of certain UK visa and settlement applications. The purpose is to confirm that the applicant does not have a serious communicable disease — particularly tuberculosis — and is in broadly good health. Depending on your visa category, you may need a standard medical examination, a tuberculosis test, or both.
The examination is conducted by a registered medical practitioner and typically includes a review of your medical history, a physical examination covering your cardiovascular and respiratory systems, a check of your vaccination status, and any relevant screening tests. A signed medical report is then provided for submission with your visa application.
TB Testing for Visa Applications
Applicants from countries with a high incidence of tuberculosis are required to provide evidence of TB screening before their visa application can proceed. At Clinique Alpa, we offer same-day TB testing with rapid results. The screening includes a clinical assessment, chest examination, and if indicated, referral for chest X-ray. Dr Parmar will provide a signed medical certificate confirming the outcome of your screening.
Countries that require pre-entry TB screening include India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nigeria, the Philippines, and many others. If you are unsure whether your country of origin requires screening, contact us and we will advise you.
What to Bring to Your Appointment
To ensure your appointment runs smoothly, please bring your valid passport, any previous medical records or vaccination certificates, details of your visa application including the type of visa you are applying for, any medications you are currently taking, and a record of your GP if you are registered with one in the UK.
Why Choose Clinique Alpa?
Immigration medicals are time-sensitive — delays in obtaining your medical report can hold up your entire visa application. At Clinique Alpa, we understand this urgency. Same-day appointments are available for most patients who call before midday. Your medical report is typically completed and signed within 24 hours of your examination. Dr Parmar has extensive experience in occupational and immigration health assessments, and our reports are accepted by UK Visas and Immigration.
Unlike some high-volume immigration medical clinics that process patients quickly with minimal clinical attention, Clinique Alpa provides a thorough assessment in a private, unhurried setting. You will see the same doctor throughout, and any concerns identified during your examination will be discussed with you directly.
