Our new BIRMINGHAM location is at Vancouver House
111, Hagley Road, Edgbaston, Birmingham B16 8LB
In light of the updated guidance from the CAA and Government, we have decided to resume our full AME practice. We have correct PPE and procedures in place to keep us all safe. We have decided to resume work at one site in the first instance. We are open for bookings at the Vancouver House clinic in Birmingham. Appointments at Halfpenny Green Airfield remain supended at the current time. We apologise for the inconvenience, but are adding extra days at Vancouver House to accommodate all of those who wish to have a medical. The extensions are still in place and valid until 22/11/2020, for those who do not wish to have a face to face medical. Please plan accordingly as there may well be a large number of medical renewals all due at that time. We are very much looking forwards to seeing you in due course. Please check back for updates.
