1. Making Your Appointment

The practice is open Monday to Friday from 9:00am to 5.30pm. Please be aware when choosing an appointment time that applicants should attend 30 minutes prior to the booked appointment time to complete necessary paperwork. (For instance an appointment at 3:00pm would mean arrival at 2.30pm). Please note, if you have an early appointment, you will not be allowed access into the building until 9:00am.

Please note this appointment type is solely for individuals seeking a TB Clearance Certificate for entry clearance to go to the United Kingdom.  If you are travelling to another country where a TB test is required you will have to book an appointment with the practice as a private patient.

For visa medical appointments, please use our online BOOKING FORM and questionnaire. 

GROUP/FAMILY BOOKINGS: If you are booking for more than one person, please select a date with enough available appointments for each of you. You need to book one separate appointment for each person attending. Please try to book consecutive appointments (one-after-the-other) as far as possible. If you are unable to book these, please email our team for assistance at info@knightsbridge-doctors.com.

Please note all appointment prices include a non-refundable fee of £80.00.  Additionally if the cancellation is within 48 hours of the booked appointment, 50 percent of the appointment fee but a minimum of £80.00 will be charged. It is the applicant's responsibility to ensure that the paperwork / administration details are up to date and so the applicant is in a position to have the booked immigration medical examination. Applicants who attend and don't require an Immigration Medical Examination or cancel at short notice will be subject to the Practice cancellation policy.

For Applicants Under 18 Years:

Anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied with a parent. (If there is an issue with a parent attending, please contact the clinic directly before an appointment).

Screening of children (less than 11 years of age) will include a medical history and examination. If there are concerns regarding tuberculosis, the Panel Physician will discuss further screening choices.
