What if I get a medical condition after my assessment?

It is advisable to consult with your GP regarding any new medical concerns. If your GP deems it necessary to report the condition, you should promptly notify the DVLA. Avoid delaying notification until your next medical assessment.

Can You Fail a Medical?

Yes, you can fail a HGV Medical. You will need to address any concerns with your GP, undergo a re-test, and potentially pass next time. Certain medical conditions are disallowed for HGV driving, and the doctor will notify you if your condition falls into this category.

What does a hgv medical involve & what do i bring?

The HGV medical consists of two components:
The first part involves an interview where the doctor and candidate discuss any existing medical conditions that might impede safe driving. This discussion also delves into the candidate’s medical history, requiring honesty and openness. Any deceit revealed in the event of a future accident or violation could lead to undesirable consequences.

The second portion of the medical entails a physical examination, during which the doctor assesses the candidate’s vital signs, vision, and other relevant factors. The entire examination typically lasts 30 minutes. Throughout the process, the doctor completes an official DVLA form, which is directly sent to the authorities. A downloadable version of this form is available on the GOV.UK website.

What do you need to bring to your HGV Medical?
- D4 Medical Form (We can provide this if required)
- Photo ID (Driver’s Licence/passport)
- Glasses or contact lenses worn while driving
- Current eyesight prescription (if glasses are used for driving)
- Information about any medication you are currently taking
- Details on any ongoing medical conditions you may have
