Tier 5 Application: Have you previously had any medical...

Post by NSimone27 » Sun Nov 08, 2015 9:29 pm

Hello!

I am currently applying for a Tier 5 (Youth Mobility) Visa as a Canadian citizen, currently am on a Tier 4 Student visa. The application asks this question:

Have you previously had any medical treatment in the UK?

I have seen the GP five times in the UK while on my Tier 4 visa, never having paid for any of the following "treatments":

1x GP checkup after feeling ill (no meds prescribed)

2x Sexual health clinic visit (Birth control prescribed, free)

2x Practice nurse at my place of work
(Once for Hep B injection, Once for Hep B bloods taken).

Does anyone know if these visits count as "treatment'? I feel like I should include them in my visa application just in case, however there is no place to write the purpose of the "treatment". Therefore I'm worried that these visits will seem a lot more serious than they really are, and don't want my visa to be rejected because it seems like I am in poor health and have not been paying for treatment.. I am probably just being paranoid but I don't know whether to include them or not. I have looked at other similar posts on this forum but the other cases seem a bit more serious (e.g. blood pressure meds or antibiotics prescribed).

Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated!

Best wishes

Nicole

Yes, you must include them. If you don't and UKVI/HO checked, it is false representation/deception for withholding facts.

If you were on a student visa, you were allowed to use the NHS for free. You don't need to write your medical history, that is private and HO don't need to know. Only write the relevant information the form asks for.
