Posted By Andy Brazier Prices vary quite a lot. When I got mine done 2 years ago I think the cheapest were in the £60-70 region, but in some places it was double. It seemed that areas of the country near offshore training centres had most places offering medicals, which created competition and so brought the price down. This certainly seemed to be the case around Hull.

Posted By scott gerty thank you to all for you response, I have checked out the links provided by you although I am still unclear if I am able to take a medical by a local GP or if it must be opito/ukoa approved.
