Driver's Medical
Looking to become an HGV driver, or looking to renew your HGV licence? – You will need to undergo a HGV Driver D4 medical.
Medical guidelines and form documentation are set out by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) to approve your licence, and can be downloaded from their website.
One of our experienced Occupational Health doctors will conduct your medical, and if they deem you fit, will complete all relevant documentation for your application process.
In addition to HGV medicals, we also carry out Forklift Truck medicals, Taxi medicals, and other DVLA medicals.
We are a SEQOHS accredited private clinic
What is the purpose of a Heavy Good Vehicle (HGV) / Passenger Carrying Vehicle (PCV) Medical?
In order for you to apply to the DVLA for your Group 2 (lorry or bus) licence, you are required to provide a medical examination report (D4) relevant to your fitness to drive.
This report can be completed in full by a suitably qualified doctor. You will need to undergo a HGV/PCV medical so that the doctor can complete the report.
What will happen at my appointment?
The assessment will be carried out by a doctor with skills in completing HGV/PCV medicals including vision assessment, and will usually take about 45 minutes.
The doctor will ask you about your health and medical history and carry out a non-invasive examination including height, weight, blood pressure and vision.
You may be asked to provide a urine sample for a urine test. If relevant, the doctor may also ask for your written permissions to obtain further medical information from a GP or specialist, who has been treating you.
Can I add on a drug & alcohol test?
Drug and alcohol testing is not undertaken as part of a HGV/PCV medical.
If you would like this to be conducted, it would be undertaken as a separate process. Some employers require drug and alcohol testing under their own policies and it is something we can facilitate. We can provide you with separate information for drug and alcohol testing.

Had a great experience at Fleet Street Clinic. I went in for my occupational health clearance and everything was smooth from start to finish. The staff were friendly and professional and the whole process was really straightforward. A special thank you to Chiara from the nursing team who handled my tests. She was not only kind and reassuring but also incredibly professional and easy to talk to. She made what could have been a stressful visit feel completely relaxed.

We went to the clinic to get travel vaccines. We were on an incredibly tight schedule, only in London for the one day, and we were seen with no issues. Later, I ordered anti-malarials by email and received them the next day! Amazing service. Highly recommend.

I visit twice a week to see Andrew Doody at Fleet Street clinic for my back, he has a great bedside manner, he listens and understands when you tell him about your pain. The staff at reception are amazing too very friendly.

We were grateful for the helpful advice they gave us and the chance to speak to a nurse before we booked our appointment. The nurse we saw was very informative, efficient and kind and the reception staff were friendly and professional.

Excellent service and support throughout my appointment process. Dr Griffiths was very supportive.

I wanted to get a private covid vaccination as soon as it is available. The Fleet street clinic must be one of the first places in London, where the private Covid vaccination is available. I booked on Saturday for my appointment on Monday. When I got to the clinic I waited for less than 5 minutes. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Overall a very pleasant experience. I'm glad to have the vaccine as I'm not eligible under new NHS rules.

Have had all my work travel vaccines at FSC and they have always been exemplary. Easy to book appointments, pleasant reception staff (both over email and phone) and appointment times to suit me. Never been kept waiting past my time and quick/easy vaccines done. Highly recommend.

I went for a covid booster vaccination and my experience was excellent. I arrived 10 minutes early for my appointment, the lady doing it (Lucy) immediately swallowed the last of her doughnut and took me through. She put me at my ease by chatting pleasantly while she prepared things, and then the jab itself was so quick and painless – I literally didn’t feel a thing, including her applying the plaster afterwards! It was a first class experience, all in the delightful setting of the quaint shop in historic Fleet Street.
Emily Lavis
Brilliant clinic, would 100% recommend. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable and the nurse's care couldn't have been better. They managed to fit me in for a same-day appointment and provide me with helpful advice for follow up. Thank you :)

This is a professional set up, first communications by telephone gave me positive vibes. Clinic is in a great central London location. Nurse doing the 'jabbing' was knowledgeable and slick! I will go back for future vaccinations.
