I would urge caution about being overly focused on getting medical reports from local practitioners as 1. Will it add value/increase your knowledge base or just confirm in writing what you already know? 2.It can be very difficult to obtain as AMRA only applies to UK. Local culture may not support requests for such reports etc. As already said the ones I've dealt with (India and Poland) I've done exactly as any other case via telephone with consent but disregarding NHS; most countries have websites for incoming immigrants describing local healthcare services and culture e.g in Ireland you can wait over a year for "emergency" referral for cardiac investigations unless you have private health insurance which many people have cancelled due to recession.
