It depends on the people you're working with. Back in the days when I was shooting in the UK we went to a private clinic we all knew and trusted in Central London.

Handwritten one??? You might as well write your own one for all the credibility that has.

You will need a full certificate as most producers won't accept anything less.
As Sarah Jane suggested it's probably better to try another clinic, or go privately.. it's a bit pricer but you get your results alot sooner and you definitely get what you pay for!

Sorry for being difficult but...
Isnt the NHS certs and its logo the easiest to fake? How does anyone know you are looking at a genuine test?
Especially since the NHS reps of clinics are the first to evade any questions of what action they are likely to take if someone is caught faking certs with their logo on it.
I can almost hear murmurs of "Who let that cat out the bag?"

I have just registered at The Working Men's Project at St Mary's in Paddington. The tests are very thorough and they understand the Adult Film Industry. They also offer Hep A and B vaccinations. Greg the leading Nurse Practitioner has met with producers who are on BGAFD. The certs are ready in a week, are free, and although hand written are easily verified. Any certificate could be forged whether hand written or not!

my certs are all signed and dated by the hospital ,so you can tell if they are forged and they too offer hep vacc. Why pay out so much money when the NHS GU clincs are the best and they know there stuff
