Hector Vector Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 Has anyone actually used (successfully) MedCert for getting their GP proforma completed? I went to their website this morning to see what they offer but it doesn't load. Are they still in business? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Boggy Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 I am currently using them and have had a form back from my GP to authorise the surgery to send MedCert the required information on my behalf. They seemed to get in touch with my GP pretty quickly after I engaged them, so am ever hopeful of a speedy response. Kent Police have extended my certificate by 8 weeks due to Covid. My FEO who is very helpful said that the extension also gives cert holders time to get the medical record requirements sorted. OB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hector Vector Posted February 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 Sorted now. It doesn't appear to like Firefox on my laptop. Works fine with Microsoft Edge (which I don't like!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some GPs are refusing to do it, others are charging extortionate amounts, some are doing it for a reasonable fee, some are doing it for free. It's a lottery, but Medcert is a fixed fee of £50 I think, so if you have one of the first 2 types of GP, medcert or similar is the answer.

stuartyboy Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 I'm currently using Medcert after my doctor refused to sign the forms. Have to say, very impressed with the service provided so far, though still in the process. Its £60 but think there are reduced rates for members of some organisations?
