15 Faqs for Driver Medicals
What is a D4 medical, and who needs it?
A D4 medical is a health assessment required by the DVLA for professional drivers, such as HGV and PCV licence holders. It’s needed when first applying for a commercial licence, at age 45, then every 5 years, and annually after age 65.
Where can I get a D4 driver’s medical in Ilford?
You can book your D4 driver medical at our Precision Driver Medicals clinic in Ilford. We offer DVLA-compliant assessments conducted by GMC-registered doctors.
How long does a driver’s medical appointment take?
The appointment usually takes around 15 to 20 minutes. It includes a vision test, blood pressure check, a review of your medical history, and a physical examination.
What documents should I bring to my medical appointment?
You should bring a valid photo ID (e.g. driving licence or passport), your D4 form (if required), a list of medications, and glasses or contacts if you use them for vision correction.
Is a GP allowed to complete my D4 medical?
Yes, your personal GP can complete the D4 form, but many charge significantly more and have longer waiting times. Our clinics are quicker, affordable, and specialise in driver medicals.
Can I get a same-day driver medical appointment in Ilford?
Yes, at Precision Driver Medicals, we offer same-day and next-day appointments at our Ilford clinic, including evenings and weekends.
What happens if I fail the medical?
If you do not meet the DVLA’s medical standards, you may need to seek further evaluation or treatment. We’ll advise you clearly on the next steps and provide any necessary referrals.
How often do I need a driver’s medical for HGV?
You’ll need one when applying, again at age 45, every 5 years until 65, and then annually. These checks ensure you’re still fit to drive professionally.
Is the driver’s medical valid for PCO applications too?
Yes, we provide medicals that meet the requirements for PCO and TfL taxi driver applications, including private hire and black cab drivers.
Do I need to fast before the driver’s medical?
No, fasting is not required for your driver’s medical. You can eat and drink as usual unless you are undergoing specific blood tests (which we don’t typically require for standard driver assessments).
How much does an Ilford driver’s medical cost?
Our pricing is affordable and transparent, typically starting from just £50. We don’t charge extra for filling in forms or vision tests – it’s all included.
Can I complete my medical form for the appointment?
Absolutely. Our doctor will complete and sign your D4 or council medical form during your appointment, ready for submission to the DVLA or TfL.
Are the doctors qualified to do DVLA medicals?
Yes. GMC-registered doctors with experience in DVLA driver assessments conduct all our medicals. This ensures compliance and professional standards.
