Camp America and similar summer camp programmes require a medical form signed by a doctor, usually with a deadline that arrives sooner than expected.
We complete these by video consultation. The one thing you need to do beforehand is have your measurements ready — height, weight and a recent blood pressure reading.
So the GP can review exactly what the programme requires before you speak.
The form is completed and signed, and returned to you digitally.
The form cannot be completed without these, and gathering them is where the delay usually is.
The whole form, including the signature block and any instructions to the physician. The GP reads it before you speak, which is what allows anything unmeetable to be flagged before you have paid rather than after.
And the form will say so, because signing them as clinician-measured would be false. Most programmes accept self-reported figures. A minority specify that a clinician must take them in person — check your programme's wording, since that is a requirement we cannot meet remotely.
A parent or guardian must be present throughout, and countersign wherever the form requires it.
Measurements you supply are recorded as self-reported, and the form will say so. Most programmes accept this. A minority specify that a clinician must take the measurements in person — check your programme's wording first, because we cannot meet that requirement remotely.
If the form requires a physical examination, blood tests or a TB test, those parts need arranging separately and we will tell you what is needed.
Check every box before you submit it. Camp programmes reject forms for a missing initial or an unsigned page far more often than for anything clinical, and the resubmission cycle is what costs people their placement.
You will be told exactly which sections remain and what is needed for each. Typically a physical examination, a TB test, blood tests, or a vaccination — all needing in-person appointments.
Book those the same day. A TB test alone requires two visits 48 to 72 hours apart, and travel clinic appointments in spring fill quickly for exactly this reason.
If gaps were identified, the fastest route is usually your NHS GP practice, which can give most routine vaccinations free of charge. Do not pay privately before asking them — people routinely do, and it is money that did not need spending.
Where a record simply cannot be traced, some vaccines can be repeated safely rather than evidenced. A travel clinic or your practice nurse will advise which.
Tell the programme. A form completed in March describes you in March. A new diagnosis, a new medicine or a significant injury needs declaring — camps have limited medical facilities and are often remote, and an undisclosed condition is a genuine safety problem rather than a paperwork one.
Send us what they said was missing. Where it is something we can properly address, we will correct and reissue at no charge.
Read the signature block on the form before you book. Some programmes require the doctor to have known the applicant for a stated period, or specify "your regular physician". We cannot meet that wording, because we are not that doctor. It is a two-minute check that saves you the fee.
Parts of these forms cannot be done remotely. A required physical examination, a TB test, blood tests, or vaccinations all need arranging in person. We can tell you exactly what is outstanding and refer you, but the form will not be complete when it leaves us.
Your immunisation history is the usual sticking point. The NHS App often shows only recent vaccinations, and childhood immunisations may sit only with the practice where you were registered as a child. Request that record early — practices can take weeks, and camp deadlines do not move for it.
Applicants under 18 need a parent or guardian present for the consultation and to countersign where the form requires it.
A deadline is not a clinical justification. If a form asks us to attest to something we have not established, we will not sign it however close the closing date is. Booking early is the only real protection against that.
Height, weight, a recent blood pressure reading, your immunisation record, and the form itself. Without those the appointment cannot achieve much.
Start the immunisation record first — it is the one that takes weeks rather than minutes.
Usually most of it, and occasionally not all of it. Medical history, medication, allergies, immunisations and the declarations are all straightforward by video.
A required physical examination, a TB test, blood tests or vaccinations cannot be done remotely. We will tell you precisely what is outstanding and where to get it, rather than leave you to discover it later.
Most do. A minority do not, and that is stated in the form's own instructions. The form will record the figures as self-reported, because signing them as clinician-measured would be untrue.
Read your programme's wording before booking. Where it requires clinician-taken measurements, this service cannot meet it.
Usually yes, and it is worth checking before you pay. Some programmes require the signing doctor to have known the applicant for a stated period, or to be their registered GP.
We are neither, and we will not sign a declaration that is not true. Where the wording is that specific, your NHS practice is the right route — though be aware many charge for this, since form completion is not NHS work.
Very common, and rarely fatal to the application.
Ask the practice you were registered with as a child — they hold the record even if you moved decades ago. The NHS App usually shows only recent vaccinations. Where a record genuinely cannot be traced, several vaccines can simply be repeated safely, and some camps accept a titre blood test instead.
Request it the day you decide to apply, not the week the form is due.
Yes, with a parent or guardian present throughout the consultation and countersigning wherever the form requires it.
Almost never on its own. Asthma, hay fever, eczema, contraception, antidepressants and ADHD medication are all extremely common among camp staff and are declared routinely.
What causes problems is not declaring it. Camps are frequently remote and their medical facilities limited, so they need to know — and the declaration is what makes their insurance work.
Take enough for the entire placement plus a fortnight, and check what the destination country restricts.
Ordinary medication for a stable condition, generally yes, following an assessment. A travel supply of an inhaler, contraception, or an antihistamine is a normal request.
We never prescribe stimulants or opioids remotely, and we do not prescribe sedatives or sleeping tablets for ongoing use — which matters here because ADHD medication is one of the commonest travel-supply requests. That needs your usual prescriber, and it needs arranging early, since a travel supply of a controlled drug takes planning.
The appointment and the signed form can be done today — we run 6am to 10pm, seven days a week.
What cannot be compressed is anything requiring an in-person step, and a TB test alone needs two visits 48 to 72 hours apart. And a deadline is not a clinical justification — if a form asks us to attest to something we have not established, we will not sign it however close the closing date is.

Same-day access is usually available, from 6am to 10pm, seven days a week. You choose a time that suits you rather than waiting on hold at 8am.
Yes. Care is led personally by Dr Mohammad Khan, so you are not passed between clinicians. Continuity is the point of a small practice: someone who knows your history and is listening attentively rather than working through a checklist.
Yes, with your consent. We can access your Summary Care Record during the consultation, so your current medications, allergies and significant history are in the room. That means fewer questions you have already answered elsewhere, and safer prescribing.
No. We are not here to replace GPs, only to support them. Your NHS practice remains responsible for your ongoing care, and with your consent we write to them after the consultation. We are useful when you need to be seen sooner, or want more time than a standard appointment allows.
Twenty unhurried minutes and a comprehensive assessment. A written treatment plan is included, along with any prescription, sick note or referral letter arising from the consultation, at no extra charge.
£40 for 20 minutes, self-pay. Membership is optional and never required. Priced for fairness, because we are not here to charge extortionate amounts for access to a doctor.
It means the diagnosis can usually be made from your history and photographs, and that treatment can be arranged safely without examining you. Where a condition is not marked treatable online, it is because examination is the diagnosis — listening to a chest, feeling an abdomen, examining an ear or a joint — or because a procedure or device is needed.
Yes, where there is a genuine bacterial infection — cellulitis, impetigo, bacterial urine infections, confirmed strep throat. We will also frequently tell you that you do not need one. Most sore throats, coughs, colds and earaches are viral, and an antibiotic gives you the side effects with none of the benefit.
If your problem turns out to be genuinely outside what we can do remotely, the doctor will tell you straight away, point you to the right service, and refund your fee in full. We would rather do that than fill twenty minutes to justify the charge.
Call 999 or go to A&E — do not book an online appointment and do not wait for a reply to an email. For urgent problems that are not emergencies, NHS 111 is available 24 hours a day, online or by phone, and can direct you to the right service.
