How It Works – 4 Simple Steps

Apply Here For A Medical Certificate

A Medical Certificate provided by ShootCert is a fixed price of £60 as recommended by the BASC.

Shootcert is an individual and bespoke service that is both discreet and confidential. Shootcert is not part of a large group and your personal and private medical history will only ever be read by Dr Garrett himself.

The need for a medical certificate/report for shotgun and firearms license applications first became necessary in 2016 when police forces required medical input from GPs. This occurred after an agreement between the Home Office and the British Medical Association (BMA).

However, the BMA subsequently withdrew from that arrangement, allowing any GP to refuse to provide an applicant with the requested medical certificate. This ultimately leaves the applicant high and dry. For more information, please refer to this page on the BASC website: https://basc.org.uk/med/

ShootCert.co.uk provides the solution quickly, effectively, and at a moderate cost.

As a long-serving member, Dr Chris Garrett was approached by the BASC (The British Association for shooting and conservation) to join a panel of respected doctors to provide Medical Certificates for Gun License Application when the members own GP will not provide these, or charge excessive fees. He now intends to extend that service to all enthusiasts, not just BASC members. However, he encourages all gun owners to join BASC to help protect our mutual interests.

ShootCert will endeavour to send your Medical Certificate back to you within 3 working days from receiving your medical notes. Please note, however, it can take up to 30 days for your GP to provide a copy of your notes so you should start that process as soon as possible.
