Just had the shock of my life - my local hospital (Chiltern Hospital) is now charging 89.50 and 268.00 for MSA medical and ECG respectively. I need to get on an ECG quick to recover!!!
Anyone know somewhere cheaper ..... a lot cheaper??
Thanks
John

Last time I needed a medical I went to Motor Racing Medics (see the leaflet enclosed with your licence renewal documents). They were very good and I can't remember how much they charged but it wasn't as much as your coronary-inducing hospital!

Seems about right John.
Although the Motor Racing Medics site seems to be down (
http://www.motorracingmedics.co.uk), the following prices were posted on the GoMotorsport site in November 2010 (
here).
Motor Racing Medics offer medical examinations for MSA licences, stress electrocardiograms, cardiologist reports, blood group testing and custom earplugs. A basic medical starts at £75+VAT whilst a thorough medical and Stress ECG costs £310+VAT.

Brilliant - booked into Kettering for the end of this month. FYI - no VSCC or other membership required - in fact why not go and have one done for fun.....and only £100.
Thanks Tony and Peter for steering me in the right direction

Yes – John I seem to recall VSCC do the medicals at one of their events (which you may have missed) and the ECG is done at Kettering
