TB screening and health check-up

Family Medical Practice has been appointed by the United Kingdom government to provide tuberculosis screening for visa applicants to the United Kingdom.

Tourists, businessmen, migrants or students intending to stay longer than six months in the UK can easily obtain all health certificates necessary in the visa application.

You can find further information on the visa application process and TB testing on the official webpage of the UK government: https://www.gov.uk/tb-test-visa

Contact our check-up department too book your appointment at +84 24 3843 0748 - Ext. 114/126/127 or email: hn-co-ordinator@vietnammedicalpractice.com

At your service Monday-Friday 8:00-17:00 and Saturday 08:00 – 12:00

It is recommended to have the TB screening 10 weeks before applying to the work, student or migration visa. After the X-ray, further testing may be needed, with results that may take between 6 to 8 weeks.

Prepare for your visa health check-up — Important Reminders

Family Medical Practice has been appointed to conduct medical check-ups for visa applications for the UK Government. Our experience and knowledge provides you with the fastest service in Hanoi.

Always phone and organize a time for your health check. Time slots are available Monday-Friday: 8:00-17:00 and Saturday: 8:00-12:00. Please arrive on time; as we have perfected a schedule calculated specifically to keep you at the clinic for the shortest time possible.

Please bring your passport, two passport size pictures (with white background) and payment to the appointment.

Please wear loose clothing, which will help us with a number of the tests.

Based on the results of the x-ray, your doctor may suggest further tests and review with a specialist. You may also be asked to give a sputum sample (phlegm coughed up from your lungs). The sputum smear/culture test can take a while, with results available in 6-8 weeks

Get enough sleep, at least six hours, prior to the check-up. Lack of sleep may cause abnormal results such as blood pressure, heart beat, and body temperature. The doctor may not be able to assess if any change is a real abnormality.

For female applicants: postpone your medical exam until your menstruation period is over.

Eating and drinking before your appointment is allowed—however, please refrain from taking alcohol and overly sweet drinks.

It is recommended you find alternative childminding arrangements, as we do not have a childminding facility on-site. If your child is over the age of 16, they will be unable to accompany you during your immigration health examination.
