HGV Medical
Booking Your HGV & PCV Medical
The Driver and Vehicle Licencing Agency (DVLA) requires HGV Drivers to be in reasonably good health in order to legally operate commercial vehicles on public roads.
To complete a HGV medical or PCV medical in Doncaster you will need to be assessed by a doctor who will verify that you are fit to drive this type of vehicle.
Low-cost Driver medicals, we are local, competent & our experienced doctors will complete your driver medical at a time to suit you.
There are many hoops to jump through when it comes to getting or renewing your HGV Drivers licence. Arguably the biggest hurdle among aspiring or experienced commercial Drivers hoping to secure or renew their licence is the HGV medical exam.
You will be interviewed by the Doctor, and have the opportunity to discuss any existing medical conditions that may interfere with safe driving. Your medical history will also be discussed.

The examination will only take around 15-30 minutes. It includes an eye test, Blood pressure check, physical examination and BMI Check. You will be asked questions about the following topics:
- Cardiovascular system including high blood pressure
- Endocrine system such as diabetes
- Musculoskeletal such as back pain
- Neurological such as stroke
