HGV MEDICAL

Reasons for Assessments

The medical comprises two parts:

An appointment with the physician / doctor

The first part involves a discussion with the doctor. It’s important to be as honest as possible in answering the doctor’s questions. They will discuss your medical history and ask you questions about your health and lifestyle generally, including your sleep patterns, any use of alcohol, and any medication you may be taking.

The second part is the actual medical examination. The doctor is looking for specific things and he or she will check your eyesight, your vitals, and other markers of your health. The entire exam is usually completed in about 30 minutes or less. The doctor will complete the necessary paperwork for the DVLA. As stated above, it is the DVLA (not the attending physician) who makes the ultimate decision of your fitness, or otherwise, to be a HGV driver.
