WOLVERHAMPTON TAXI MEDICAL FAQ

---

 We understand that you may feel nervous about your taxi medical examination. Our doctors are here to make the whole experience a breeze. Here's some handy advice to make your medical go well:

1. Don't forget your glasses along with your prescription. 
2. Bring a detailed record of your regular medications and their doses. 
3. Arrive early to relax. Sip some water, take deep breaths, have some biscuits and get your zen on. If you're on blood pressure meds, don't forget to take them as prescribed. 
4. Bring your full medical records 
5. Bring a copy of ID 

During your taxi medical, determining your fitness may not be as straightforward if you have a condition that does not meet Group 2 guidelines for driving, or needs extra tests. For example, if you have previous medical history relating to your heart, an Echocardiogram (ECG) might be necessary, leading to extra checks and time. Just a heads up: any additional tests will tap into your wallet. Our appointment doesn't come with an all-inclusive test package, sadly.

Remember, we've got your back and we'll make it as smooth as a freshly tarmacked road. Cheers! 

We are able to complete your Wolverhampton Taxi Medical. For this to be completed, we will need to complete the medical with your full medical records.

Ask your GP for the following: 

I am applying for a taxi license and for this, I am undergoing a taxi medical with a private medical company. 

To complete this, I am requesting my full medical record under Section 45 of the Data Protection Act 2018.

I would like the full medical record which shows all my previous consultations as well as any referrals, discharge letters and all correspondence and medical records available. 

It must be the full medical record, it cannot be a medical summary and it cannot just show the last three most recent consultations. I would appreciate it if you could kindly email it to me in PDF form.

 A  Wolverhampton taxi medical is completed using the medical form, which you will kindly need to bring to your appointment. Our friendly doctors will:

The medical will take approximately 15-30 minutes. Longer if you stop for a chat and a biscuit.
