HGV Medicals in Swindon

An HGV medical is a mandatory health assessment required for HGV (Heavy Goods Vehicle) drivers to ensure they meet the DVLA Group 2 medical standards. These medical checks are designed to confirm that drivers are physically fit to operate heavy and large vehicles safely, reducing risks to themselves and other road users. Without passing this medical assessment, drivers cannot legally hold or renew their HGV licence, which is crucial for their professional driving careers.

The HGV medical consists of a series of health checks conducted by a GMC-registered doctor. It includes vision tests, blood pressure measurements, and general health assessments to detect any underlying conditions that could affect driving ability. This medical is essential for both first-time HGV drivers and experienced drivers renewing their licences. The DVLA requires periodic medical renewals, ensuring that all professional drivers continue to meet the necessary fitness standards.

Whether you are a first-time HGV driver applying for your C1, C1+E, C, or C+E licence or an experienced driver renewing an HGV licence, you must undergo a driver medical for HGV at specific intervals. The DVLA requires periodic HGV medical renewals, ensuring that all lorry, truck, and heavy vehicle drivers continue to meet the necessary fitness-to-drive standards. If you are over 45, 65, or have certain medical conditions, your HGV medical renewal may be required more frequently to maintain compliance with DVLA and licensing authority regulations.
