Cambridge Medicine Students and Applicants

Yeah I think that's what I'll do. I'm seeing my GP on Tuesday and hopefully she'll fill it in then and I can't see what else we could do about the 2nd and 3rd doses so I'll probably leave them blank or maybe write a little note saying I'll be getting them soon

You two are lucky, my GP refused to give me the vaccinations, they said I'll have to get them done at uni

I think I'll do the same. Don't forget to bring your red vaccinations book! I can't believe I've left it so late, as I've got about 2/3 more vaccines to schedule :/



At least yours will be free? I'm paying about £200 for the Hep B/BCG/varicella vaccines

That's not really uncommon I was in the same position. I managed to get all my Hep B vaccines and a BCG jab from occupational health once I started. You'll probably have your first appointment within the first couple of weeks.

At least yours will be free? I'm paying about £200 for the Hep B/BCG/varicella vaccines

Really? Awh poor you! They wouldn't give it to you even if you paid for it yourself?

Cool, thanks


I'm not expecting it to be free at uni either!


They had organised everything and told me I had to pay, but then last minute they said no, not too sure why but they're weird

That's so strange! Btw which college are you?

Yep but what can you do?! Trinity and yourself?

I'm not expecting it to be free at uni either!

Ah wow! Downing

Occupational health do them for free. Or at least having had around ten needles stabbed into my arms for blood tests/vaccines I haven't been charged yet and am not expecting to be.

I became a firm believer that it's easier to get into Trinity after receiving an offer :P


Gonna get stabbed for free WOO!

Haha xD awh not at all I'm sure you absolutely deserve that place! It's tough! Congrats!

Thank you! and to you!

Haha oh yeah thanks for the reminder! I think I'm good with my vaccines...I had the first dose Hep B yesterday, but I agree it's a tight deadline! I think I'm paying £75 for the Hepatitis B

Hi, this is mainly for all successful Cambridge medics. What did you do for A level and what grades did you obtain?

Also will these a levels suffice:
1) Chemistry
2) Biology
3) Physics
4) Maths
5) Further Maths

I plan to drop F.Maths at AS.

Thanks!

Hi have any offer holders managed to complete their health assessment form yet? My GP is taking ages to fill in their page and I keep having to go back and forth because they want me to book appointments with the nurse, then go see the doctor again etc.

At least you're more organised than me I'm paying £60 for the whole course which isn't too bad I was warned by a few friends that the BCG isn't 'a normal vaccine', so I guess I've got that to look forward to in the next few weeks!

I am having this problem also. Don't think it is anything massive to worry about though? Which college are you?

*Rolls eyes* to think we're hopefully going into this profession haha

Yeah I'm getting there, I'm hoping I'll be able to get it done in time Downing - how about you?
