Important information - HGV driver medical
If you’ve had ischaemic heart disease (like a heart attack, angina, or a stent insertion), a cardiologist supervised treadmill test is required, though this is not part of the standard medical.
For insulin-dependent diabetics, you must see a specialist annually and monitor blood sugar twice daily.
If you take diabetes medication, daily blood sugar checks are also necessary.
For high blood pressure, provide at least three home readings taken on different days if you’re on medication.
Please note: in the event that you do not pass the medical we cannot refund the cost.
