Taxi Driver Medical
It is a mandatory requirement that all drivers must undergo and pass a taxi driver medical assessment before being granted their license to operate. The taxi driver medical assessment ensures taxi drivers are medically fit to safely drive a private hire vehicle or hackney carriage on public roads. This applies to new drivers and also drivers who wish to renew their taxi license.
Taxi Driver Medical Overview
Taxi Driver Medicals will take place Monday - Thursday and will last 15 minutes.
Taxi Driver Medical Content
During the medical assessment our qualified onsite doctor will perform a detailed evaluation of your physical and mental health which will include a blood pressure check, eyesight test and a medical questionnaire. Our doctor will also review your medical history inline with local authority requirements.
