DVLA Medicals

If your LGV or PCV driving licence is due to expire soon, you will need a D4 medical. The DVLA will notify you of expiry around 6 weeks prior.

Our doctor will complete the D4 Medical Form, which typically takes around 15 minutes. During the appointment, you will complete:

• Medical Questionnaire
  You’ll be asked about various medical conditions, such as epilepsy, seizures, insulin-treated diabetes, and other health issues. Some conditions, if managed, will not affect your application
• Vision Assessment
  In terms of vision, you’ll need to meet the minimum requirement of 6/7.5 in one eye and 6/60 in the other, as measured on a 3-metre Snellen chart. If you wear driving glasses or contact lenses, you’ll need to bring them with you
• Blood Pressure Check
  In order to meet the DVLA group 2 standard, your blood pressure must not consistently exceed 179/99

Once complete, you can submit your D4 form to DVLA.

We have access to several clinics each week across South Wales and the UK, including:

• D4 Medical Form: This is the form that the doctor will complete for you to send to DVLA. If you havent already recieved this by post, you can download a copy here.

Cardiac investigations and serious medical conditions

If you have undergone cardiac investigations in the past, received significant hospital treatment for any other serious medical conditions, or are currently under the care of a consultant, please bring along any relevant details. The examining doctor may require this information to complete the form accurately.

Blood pressure medication

If you are taking medication for hypertension (blood pressure), such as Ramipril, Amlodipine, Doxazosin, etc., it is essential that you provide three blood pressure readings taken on different days prior to your appointment.

Additionally, please bring photographic evidence of these readings. It’s important to note that these readings do not require authentication by your GP.
