NCL Medical

 Getting a Medical Check

1. Print and complete this form.
2. The information must be legible.
3. The form must be filled out completely with position, ship, date, name, address, sex, new hire, date of birth and nationality.
4. The section on CONDITIONS must be completed
5. By signing the form, the candidate affirms that all information given is accurate and authorises NCL access to all previous and future medical records.
6. Misrepresentation or failure to disclose a previous condition are grounds for rejection.
7. The entire section starting with NAME OF EXAMINING FACILITY must be completely filled in by the examining doctor.

While you can complete all the medical checks separately, we do not advise this as it usually ends up costing more and will definitely take up more time.

Medication Letter

If you are currently on any medication you will need a letter from your doctor stating the name of the medication, the frequency it needs to be taken and the dosage. The letter should state:

“The medication does not impair candidate’s judgement during emergency situations and that they can work with no restrictions”.

Female applicants should note that OCP (oral contraceptive pill) is not a medication and so does not need to be declared on your form
