Thanks for all the above info, I passed today!!
While it's still fresh in my mind here's what was involved.
1. Height to weight ratio test.
2. Resting ECG test
3. Eyesight acuity check
4. Colour vision check
5. Urine test
6. Hearing test (examiner just stands behind you about 2 metres away and talks to you at normal conversation level)
7. Blood test
8. Lung capacity test (blow into this tube!)
9. Blood pressure test
10. General health examination. Reflexes, eye examination, ears, oral examination etc.
That was about it.
Had the JAA and FAA certificates issued on the spot (FAA was only an extra £30 so well worth doing at the same time if considering training/flying in the USA).
Also, for an initial examination don't forget to take photo ID and a copy of your prescription from an opticians if you need glasses.
Finally, there is stacks of info on medical requirements on the JAA website:

Right.... now on with the lessons!!
Cheers
GS
