Hi, I’m going in for surgery for my nose and just wondering how long after I need to wait to apply for the reserves.
Additional information
The surgery is set for some time in October and the recovery is only around 2-4 weeks not a serious operation. But the surgeon basically said it is basically a button to help with breathing as there is a hole on the inside of my nose as where the cartilage should be. Many thanks

Hello,
I am afraid we cannot provide you with a definite answer without our Medical Admin Team reviewing your medical history and further details of your symptoms and the planned operation. Please feel welcome to create an application on the Army website, and our trained Medical Admin Team will review your medical information. They will then be able to contact you back with an informed decision.

How would I get in contact with them do you have an email or phone number please and would it be better to wait after my operation before contacting them?
Thank you
