I paid shootcert on 26th January, and have since sent them 3 emails in last 3 weeks and still waiting for some sort of communication regarding my medical certificate.
How difficulult can it be to reply to an email! If only they had a phone number to contact them, but what a surprise they do not.

Hello Steven, thank you for your feedback.
We’re sorry to hear that you feel frustrated while waiting for an update. We appreciate that it can be concerning if you don’t receive a reply to a progress enquiry, and we apologise if this has been your experience.
Having reviewed your application, we can confirm that it is still progressing within the expected timeframe. Our records show that your GP practice has acknowledged receipt of your Subject Access Request (SAR), and their data provider is currently processing the medical records needed for the ShootCert doctor to complete the review.
Once those records are received, your application will move forward to the medical assessment stage. We will notify you as soon as there is any update.
Thank you for your patience while we await the information from your GP practice.
Slick service
Slick service, and only slightly more expensive than joining the melee' via the Surgery!

I understand that my GP has provided you with my medical records over two weeks ago. I’ve emailed twice to find out what the present position is and found I have been ignored.
There is no phone number to be able to speak to anybody.
The communication is poor.

Hello David. You applied with us on 20 Jan. Your notes arrived on 9 Feb and your Form 201 was completed and sent to you the same day. At each stage of the process, you were notified by email. If you have not received our emails (including the one with your completed Form 201 attached) please let us know.
Very quick service
Very quick, same-day service once ShootCert had my notes. Considerably cheaper and more efficient than dealing with the GP practice.
