We offer Taxi medicals across the UK provided by our GMC-registered doctors.
Taxi drivers, like other professional drivers, are required to undergo medical examinations to ensure their fitness to drive and the safety of themselves and others on the road
The regulations governing these medicals are particularly strict due to the nature of their profession. Here are some situations in which a taxi driver’s medical examination is necessary:
First Group 2 Licence Application
Renewal of Group 2 Entitlement at Age 45
Limited Licence Holders Applying for C1/C1/D1 Entitlement
The medical documentation required for your council’s taxi driver includes:
Council’s taxi driver medical form
Driving licence/passport/photo ID
Proof of address
Glasses/contact lenses (if used for driving) and prescription
Information on medical conditions
Records of consultations with any medical professionals
Information on regular medication
Full medical records or a medical summary as specified by your council
What’s Involved in a Taxi Medical?
All professional drivers including hackney carriage, Uber and private hire car drivers need a taxi driver medical that meets their council’s standards. Driver medicals take 15-20 minutes to cover your medical history review, blood pressure check and eye test. Sometimes further tests are required to meet your council’s criteria.
