Where a medical condition is identified that may affect a candidate's suitability for entry into the Royal Marines, the Military Medical Examiner will assess the available clinical information and determine the candidate's medical fitness for service in accordance with the relevant standards and guidance. Where a case is complex, borderline, or requires further specialist input, it may be referred to a senior Naval medical officer for advice and, where appropriate, a final determination regarding the candidate's medical fitness for service. The outcome is then communicated to the candidate in a timely and professional manner. Full training is given in this process and reference material is provided to support the clinicians.
