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 £59, 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).
Complete our online referral form uploading your consent for us to obtain your medical records, or get in touch by phone or email.
We’ll obtain your 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), then allocate your case to our GPs who will review your medical records and compile the report within three days.
We’ll send the report back to you and/or directly to the firearms licensing officer depending on the force requirements. We’ll also notify your GP surgery that the police may request a firearms marker be added to your medical records.

Please bear in mind that although we have the ability to complete reports within three days, our full turnaround time depends on how long your GP surgery takes to send us your full medical records (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).
