AV MED 1 and F6424 Changes and Procedures

If you have your NHS card it’ll say on there who it is.

Failing that, logging in to the NHS website or app should also tell you.

Can anyone post a PDF of the IBN please?

6FTS are a little…slow… in sending that one to us.

Ours just give surgery, no named GP

Now we need a way of uploading this to SMS so there is a ‘has valid Av Med’ box that can be seen by event organisers. Include option to scan and upload.

I suggested this through the CoC about 4-5 years ago, but the ‘too difficult’ answer came rolling back down the hill.

Could it not just be a qualification?

As long as AEFs don’t start expecting CCF to do that…

AEF staff need to see the completed AvMed1 forms for each cadet.
Evidence is also required that a cadet is enrolled, over 13 years and has parental consent to fly.
The SMS activity report shows enrolment and consent, but beware it also shows if a cadet has a declared medical condition. This may be a condition that is not required to be declared on the AvMed1 form….

The most common errors on presented AvMed1 forms are:-

  1. The new boxes not signed by parents/OC’s
  2. Declaration of a condition that requires F6424 action, but no F6424.

Don’t forget presenting out of date forms. Over the last 2 days I’ve had Av Meds that are 3 versions out of date. As AEFs we should not fly cadets with out of date forms but they still keep comming.

I suspect it’s either historic forms on Wing Bader accounts not being updated or historic forms being taken out of a drawer.

Please stop using the wrong versions…it makes our life much easier.
