Closed petition Reform military joining standards in relation to historic medical conditions
Closed on
After finally putting my dream of being an Army nurse into action and applying, I came to a hurdle of the medical screener. I was failed on the reasoning that I had eczema when I was 1 year old, and had moisturiser prescribed to me.
I hope that this petition will prompt the government to reconsider how historic medical conditions are treated in military joining standards, and allow there to be more of a comprehensive medical screener, including a physical appointment, rather than people being classed unfit based on historic medical conditions. Historic medical conditions which no longer affect a person should not mean people are unable to follow their dream career.
