Hi, when my husband lands in Heathrow will he need to show his medical test certificate, if so, it has now expired, will he need to get a new one done? Or is it okay to show the expired one, and they will do the chest x-ray in the airport?
Or is there no need for this medical check? We will carry all of our paperwork in our hand luggage to stop any problems on arrival... just wondering about the chest x-ray. Thanks

He will need to show his TB certificate ( even though it has expired), providing he is coming from a country where this is mandatory

You dont need a valid TB certificate to enter the UK. You only need a valid TB certificate for when your visa is stamped in your passport.
An expired TB certificate should cause no problem ion arrival at a Uk airport
