Royal Navy triage call

[Zeeeeeeno]

Hi guys wondering if use could give me a little help here I am getting a call from the triage nurse some point next week, I was having a scan over my own copy of the medical questionnaire and I’ve realised there a couple of things I’ve forgotten to say one was a football injury I had to go to hospital for about 4 years ago, should I bring it up in the phone call and just explain I forgotten to add it in or should I not bother saying anything, thanks

Honesty is the best policy.

Agree with Stirlin, as it is probably in your medical notes. If it was nothing major (obs for possible concussion, no lasting effects) then that would be understood as to why you may not have remembered it, but now you have you should be up front and explain. I wouldn't make it my opening statement but if you are asked "is there anything else we need to know" there is your cue.

Good luck.

Brilliant thank you, do use know if I can be failed on this because I’ve forgot to write this down on my questionnaire?

Without knowing the details, I cannot answer that. Knowing the details though, I still can't answer that. But if you meet all the criteria and this isn't one of those ailments that mean you are PMU, then it is unlikely to prevent you progressing.

Even if it does, there is still the appeal process if you think you were being judged too harshly.

Again, good luck. Don't sweat the small stuff. Be confident and determined.
