Medical certificates for your Firearms or Shotgun Licence
for only £75

Our fully-qualified and indemnified GP and medical review team is led by avid shooting enthusiast and long standing member of BASC, Dr Grant Charlesworth-Jones.

From our experience in private medical services we have a number of GPs on our panel who are able to assist you with your medical verification. We provide medical reports for those applying for UK firearms and shotgun certificates to ensure a quick turnaround in terms of licences – for both existing and new licence holders.

Simply complete our online referral portal below (or email or post) to begin the straightforward process of medical verification for your shotgun/firearms licence application or renewal.

The fee for your firearms/shotgun medical report is £75, and we aim to complete your report and submit it to you and/or your designated firearms officer (depending on the police force) within 3 working days of receiving your full medical records from your GP surgery (N.B. rules state your GP must release the records within 28 days of request, this can often be breached and we ask for your patience in this event).

As per 2019 Home Office statutory guidance I consent to FirearmsMedicals writing to my GP surgery to request that my NHS GP adds a marker to my patient record (if such a marker is not already present on my patient record) to enable the NHS GP to flag up to police any new medical issues which emerge following the grant of the certificate.
