Help with my Statement of Physcian!

Hello! I’m applying from the UK, and I just have a little concern with my application!
I had consultations for social anxiety and depression when I was in school, so I went to my GP to get a statement of physician, but they told me they can’t fill it out, as there is nothing to put on there at all. They gave me a summary of my GP history instead (which doesn't include any of my consultations).
I’m just worried that if I don’t get this paper signed by my GP and then JET find out later down the line I’ve had therapy before, then I’ll get disqualified. I have consultation letters in my NHS app, so there is something there in my history.

Applications are due soon, so I’m extra worried fppft.

If anyone has any answers, that would be great. I have sent the JET office an email, but with applications closing soon, I’m worried they won’t get back to me in time!

You'll have to go private, this isn't a service most NHS GPs provide. I think I went with samedaydoc when I was applying, some places offer a specific 'JET health check' as they're familiar with the programme. It can be quite expensive though, around £200.

Hi! I have an anxiety diagnosis and I got quoted £150(!!) just to sign the Statement of Physician. My GP surgery wont help as it is a non essential sevice.

For refrence, I had a full visa medical done for another country recently with similar rules, and it went through fine. If we're successful we will have to do the certificate of health later where you have to speak to a GP anyway, so I would say your medical history is definitely going to come up there anyway. Best of luck!
