Medical Guidance

From 9 January 2023, applicants will be able to have the medical carried out by their own doctor or any GMC registered medical practitioner, if they offer this service.  Further guidance can be found on the medical guidance form located on the forms to download page.  This form must be taken with you to your medical appointment and completed by the registered practitioner who completes your medical.  Other forms will not be accepted.

For all appointments, if you wear glasses or contact lenses, you MUST also take your last prescription with you so the medical examiner knows the strength of the lenses.  If you do not take the prescription with you, you cannot be declared fit to drive.

All bookings for medical examinations are the responsibility of the applicant or licensed driver.  The Taxi Licensing Office cannot provide advice, guidance or recommendations in  respect of the providers of such medical examinations.
