School and university medical.
A general health certificate for boarding school, university, a gap year or a placement.
School, care and adoption
- A doctor every time
- Today, every day.
What's involved
The doctor completes a general health certificate, records your vaccination status where the placement asks for it, and notes any condition relevant to the placement so the school or university has what it needs. You leave with the completed form.
Good to know
Bring the exact form the school, university or programme requires, as each sets its own format and questions.
