    you fill in the majority of the form, the Dr's bit is quit small, just point it out to the recpetionist when you give it to her, as the frm looks heafty, but the majority is filled out by you

    I was charged £87.50 - this is the amount that the British Medical Association suggests that GPs charge

    The receptionist at my surgery said that it would cost about £15, but the GP obviously wanted more

    Gosh that's a lot, mine was £35.00 and considering there was nothing on it so it would have taken all of 5 mins to fill in it's not a bad earner!! xx

    I'm just going through the process of applying to ofsted now. Where do I get the form? From the DR or does Ofsted give you the form?

    Any help appreciated!!

    You get the medical form from Ofsted, you can also download the form on the Ofsted website Here's the link direct to it if you wish to print it out http://www.ofsted.gov.uk/filedownloa...et.pdf&refer=0

    Good luck with everything and hope this helps

    Ok, I have downloaded and completed my part of the health declaration form. It says to put it in a pre-pain envelope for your Dr to post off once completed. Does anyone have address??

    Thank you!

    Not sure on the address, sorry, but my doctor sent my form off (£35) before I sent in my other forms so Ofsted sent my medical form back to me, very confusing so rang them and they explained when they received my medical form they did not know who I was as the other forms crossed in the post so had to send medical form back again.
    I went on the Ofsted site for the address.

    Good luck.

    Doctors charge was £20 for him filling in the form and it cost £15 for the receptionist to file on the computer and post

    I gave mine to the receptionist at my doctors and she said it would be about £15 but when phoned to ask if it had been done she said yeah just need to pay the bill of £10 which i'm quite chuffed with so believe it depends on your doctors surgery

    I paid £25 for mine last year, was outraged at that because all the doctor had to do was tick a box and sign her name!
