Introduction
At Precision Driver Medicals, we provide comprehensive driver rehabilitation services designed to help individuals return safely to the road following medical, physical, or psychological conditions that have affected their driving ability.
Our goal is simple — to ensure that every driver can operate a vehicle safely, confidently, and in full compliance with DVLA medical standards.
Whether you’re recovering from an illness, managing a disability, or rebuilding confidence after an incident, our driver rehabilitation programme offers tailored support to meet your unique needs.
What Are Driver Rehabilitation Services?
Driver rehabilitation services focus on evaluating and improving a person’s ability to drive safely after experiencing a medical condition, injury, or decline in functional ability.
These assessments and training programmes are conducted by qualified medical professionals and occupational therapists who specialise in driver fitness evaluations.
At Precision Driver Medicals, our driver rehabilitation specialists work closely with each client to assess:
- Vision and eye coordination
- Cognitive processing and reaction time
- Physical mobility and motor function
- Emotional readiness and confidence behind the wheel
Our comprehensive approach ensures that all aspects of safe driving are addressed before a driver resumes their duties.
Who Needs Driver Rehabilitation Services?
You may benefit from driver rehabilitation services if you have experienced any of the following:
- A stroke or neurological condition affecting coordination or awareness
- Diabetes, epilepsy, or cardiovascular conditions that require DVLA notification
- Orthopaedic injuries that limit movement or strength
- Vision changes that affect depth perception or field of view
- Mental health issues, including anxiety or PTSD related to driving
- Age-related changes in reaction time or cognitive function
We also assist professional drivers (HGV, PCV, taxi, and ambulance drivers) who need to meet strict Group 2 medical standards to continue working legally in the UK.
Our Approach to Driver Rehabilitation
At Precision Driver Medicals, we understand that every driver’s journey to recovery is unique. Our driver rehabilitation services follow a structured yet compassionate process to support your safe return to the road.
Step 1: Medical and Functional Assessment
We start with a detailed medical evaluation to review your health history, medications, and any medical conditions that may impact driving.
Our GMC-registered doctors and allied specialists assess physical strength, coordination, and cognitive function through tailored tests and discussions.
Step 2: Vision and Cognitive Screening
As part of our driver rehabilitation assessment, we conduct eye tests and cognitive evaluations to measure focus, attention, and decision-making abilities — all vital for safe driving.
If necessary, we refer clients to optometrists or neurologists for further assessment.
Step 3: Behind-the-Wheel Evaluation (if applicable)
For certain cases, especially professional or older drivers, we recommend practical driving assessments conducted by approved evaluators.
These help identify specific challenges and areas for targeted improvement.
Step 4: Rehabilitation Plan
Based on your results, we design a personalised driver rehabilitation plan that may include:
- Physical therapy or mobility exercises
- Adaptive driving equipment training
- Confidence-building sessions
- Education on DVLA medical requirements
- Safe driving techniques tailored to your condition
Our goal is not just to help you drive again but to ensure you do so safely, confidently, and legally.
