Open petition: The Government must review & update medical restrictions on joining the Military

Created by Ollie Flynn
Closes on

We believe the UK Government is turning away too many people from their life-long dream of serving their country due to minor faults, even from a young age.

We want the Government to review current medical prohibitions. We feel that conditions like mild asthma, some food allergies and conditions that occurred at a young age should not deny entry, especially if the GP says they are able.
