Driver medicals are health assessments used to determine whether a person meets the medical standards required for a particular driving entitlement or licensing authority.
For professional drivers, these assessments may involve a review of your medical history, an examination of your general health, a blood pressure check and an eyesight assessment. The exact requirements depend on the type of licence or badge you are applying for.
For example:
HGV and LGV drivers: Medical assessments generally involve the DVLA’s Group 2 medical standards.
PCV and bus drivers: Medical assessments help establish whether an applicant meets the relevant standards for passenger-carrying vehicles.
Taxi and private hire drivers: Requirements may be set by the relevant licensing authority. In London, Transport for London (TfL) has its own medical documentation and procedures.
A medical examination does not itself grant a driving licence or guarantee that an application will be approved. The relevant licensing authority makes the final decision.
The first step is to identify the licence category or licensing authority that applies to you. Booking the wrong type of assessment can lead to extra paperwork or the need for another appointment.
Preparing your documents in advance can help your assessment run smoothly.
Depending on your appointment, you may need to bring:
The documents required can vary between medical types. Check your booking instructions and the requirements of the relevant authority before attending.
Examination fees vary based on the assessment type. For current prices, please check our website or contact us directly.
