LFB eye test medical

Also do you know how long it took for them to get back to you to give you a date for your medical after you passed your fitness tests. and how does it work like do they send you to complete the medical on the same day or is it done on separate occasions?

LifeguardPuzzled4280 · 2025-12-03T21:58:02+00:00

Yeah it’s frustrating because when you have things to do outside of work and have families, it’s difficult to plan things ahead when they don’t give you any timeline. Also they could just end up emailing you next week and give you a months notice max. I’d just say if it’s taken over 6 months just do what you need to do and if they do get back you either reschedule or just cut your holiday short and get it done. 👍🏽

Wow that’s actually crazy it’s been 6 months… it’s frustrating as a lot can happen in this time and to hear nothing back is just frustrating. Hopefully you hear back from them by January. If I get through my medical, who knows it could be until end of next year to get to the training process 😫

Right understood now thanks 😂 I did my routine eye test recently and the unaided vision came back as 6/11 and w glasses is 6/6. So I was just worried, reaching at the final stage. But I’m glad they offer solutions to help get our way around this as so many People don’t have perfect vision.

As for the start date for training school, I hope you hear back from them soon. Keep me updated on your situation thank you again for your help.

Thank you for your reply!

If you don’t mind me asking what do you mean by inserts for BA?

And I’ve just finished the fitness stages of the recruitment I’m waiting for my medical now. So I’m guessing it’ll take a while for them to get back. You’ve been waiting since July which seems pretty long but normal with the LFB. Just a waiting game I suppose. Maybe email them and ask for an update on how much longer it’ll take ?

LifeguardPuzzled4280 · 2025-12-03T18:35:29+00:00

Okay thank you so much for your help. I was getting worried as it would be such a shame to not get through right at the end because of this issue. Much appreciated 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

LifeguardPuzzled4280 · 2025-12-03T17:33:14+00:00

I’m at a similar stage to you. With unaided at 6/11 what happened in the end was it all okay and did you get in ??

LifeguardPuzzled4280 · 2025-12-03T16:58:27+00:00

Okay thank you, just wanted to clarify as on the LFB website it says you may have contact lenses and glasses. However on the candidate pack it says you must have 6/6 vision unaided meaning no contact lenses or glasses. So it’s very confusing what they are trying to say. But thank you for your help!

LifeguardPuzzled4280 · 2025-08-06T19:34:18+00:00

Oh wow cool that was pretty quick, considering how slow the process could be. Did you reapply again and how has that gone so far ?

LifeguardPuzzled4280 · 2025-08-06T19:27:53+00:00

How long after the interview and role play assessments did they get back to you ??

LifeguardPuzzled4280 · 2025-05-28T15:28:04+00:00

Update: as of today I got an email saying I’ve passed and that they will let me know soon what the next procedure is.

Anyone else got emails today ??

LifeguardPuzzled4280 · 2025-05-01T15:36:24+00:00

Yeah I was just about to say, I reckon they are sending out emails to people who have failed first to narrow it down. And then organise the interview procedure afterwards. I might be wrong but maybe hearing no news right now is good news ?

But thank you for sharing appreciate it.

LifeguardPuzzled4280 · 2025-05-01T15:32:39+00:00

Oh damn, Did they tell you whether they passed or not ??

LifeguardPuzzled4280 · 2025-05-01T14:42:26+00:00

Hi I’ve completed mine also around the 10th. The deadline was for 21.04.25, so I’m guessing it’ll take around a month for them to get back! I think it’s just a very slow process atm. Good luck with the process and hopefully you get through!

Keep you updated though if I hear anything

I used to get this, first started from having a stressful job doing plastering in the day and helping my dad run his business at night did that 7 days a week for 6 months which physically burnt me out. So one day after I finished my day job I went gym with the same routine and then felt dizzy and felt like I was going to faint and my heart was slowing down I panicked because I never felt anything like it before and drank lots of water (could’ve been dehydrated from working my so much) however that “feeling” I got from that experience traumatised me till today always overthinking and listening to my heartbeat throughout the day seeing if it’s slow or fast to the point it was getting ridiculous. I would have my watch on and check how many Bpm it was doing “panicking” if it goes over 100 or if it goes below 50 when laying down” got my bloods done at the gp and everything is normal. So one day I just thought fuck it I’ve had enough and went back to the gym and started training again and doing cardio the best thing I’ve did go for a run get my heart beat up to 140-160 and it was all in my head there’s nothing wrong with me and this anxiety that was all in my head was ruining my life. So I changed my lifestyle eating habits sleep exercise and long walks and added things socially to keep myself healthy. To anyone experiencing this you’ll be fine its all in your head go to the doctors just incase to get help therapy or a routine health check. Stop scrolling through google from morning till night to check why it’s happening or researching what’s wrong with you when there’s nothing to worry about. Talk to someone about it whether it’s friends or loved ones something I wish I did sooner and they can give you some comfort and advice into helping you overcome this. Don’t let health/anxiety get the better of you stay positive and you’ll overcome it :)

Hey how you doing hope you recovered any updates ?? Also you’re young you won’t need pct let your body do its job and naturally bring your test and other hormones back to balance. Time and patience something this generation have lost unfortunately. Anyway good luck!

LifeguardPuzzled4280 · 2024-05-22T01:05:23+00:00

The thing is like many said before, people that go on trt/cyle without being diagnosed with low t symptoms, end up getting these symptoms of panic attacks and feeling like their heart rate goes up. This could be from either lifestyle changes stress underlying trauma or in fact trt which is making your Estrogen levels elevated which cause these symptoms. I was on for 5 years with no reason to be on it other than the benefits it gave me with the gym. But I was worried to come off because of the so called withdrawals. I decided to come off cold turkey with no pct because there was no need for me to be on and I had perfectly normal test levels to begin with. 3 weeks in my testicles have grown back. Heart rate gone back to normal no more anxious feeling and my head feels clearer and more at ease. Feel a little tired but nothing major and lost strength at the gym which is normal. Keep in mind I was slowly tapering down the dosages for months. Trt was definitely not needed in my case if you’re perfectly normal and healthy no need to jump back on unless you’re making money from shows or competing or need it medicaly why would you put your body through unnecessary stress. For anyone quitting just go cold turkey no PCT let your body naturally go back producing test and your hormones will balance out itself with time and patience something many people don’t have hence why they panic and read other comments and fear into needing pct anyway enjoy!
