About the Medical

The DVLA sets the medical standards for Group 2 driving licence entitlement. There is some useful information that you can download here that outlines some of the important points of the medical at the surgery.

A D4 medical form will need to be filled out by the doctor at the time of your examination. You can download a D4 form here, although we do have plenty of them at the surgery. There is a very useful explanatory leaflet about the D4 form called INFD4 which can be downloaded here.

IMPORTANT POINTS TO REMEMBER ABOUT THE MEDICAL AT THE SURGERY:

• THE PRICE FOR AN LGV/PCV MEDICAL IS CURRENTLY: £50. PRICES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE SO DOUBLE CHECK THE PRICE WHEN MAKING YOUR APPOINTMENT.

• PHOTO IDENTIFICATION MUST BE PRODUCED AT THE TIME OF THE MEDICAL EXAMINATION. (e.g. Passport or Driving Licence) OTHERWISE THE MEDICAL WILL NOT PROCEED - NO I.D., NO MEDICAL!
• Payment needs to be by cash or cheque only. As yet, we do not have card (Switch/Visa etc) facilities. We are  looking into setting up a Paypal account to deal with credit card requests.
• We expect 24 hour notice for cancellations.
• If you wear contact lenses or glasses please bring them with you. If you wear contacts you will need to take them out during the examination as your eyesight will need to be checked with and without them in.
• Please bring with you a list of regular prescribed medication taken - ideally a copy of your 'repeat prescription' slip.
• If you are currently under the care of a Hospital Specialist or Consultant, please bring the Specialist's name, contact details and your own hospital number with you.
• Be prepared to pass a urine specimen at the time of your examination.
