The practice receives a significant number of requests for a medical report to accompany an application for the issue or renewal of a firearm/shotgun certificate.
Under practice policy, we regret that we are unable to provide a report because we do not have the appropriate expertise to assess an applicant’s risk of behavioural and personality disorder, as required by the report process.
In addition we have a conscientious objection to the holding of firearms and we are aware of our responsibilities and obligations under GMC guidance on conscientious objection.
Patients will need to seek a medical report from a private provider in order to further your application. The Practice cannot make any recommendations, but are aware that Medcert are able to provide this service, they can be contacted on 020 8063 4503 or via email at info@medcert.co.uk.
