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.

Kara Martin
I was feeling ill while visiting from the States and am so glad I found this clinic. They slotted me in right away and provided everything I needed in-house without having to go to a pharmacy. I’m sure that’s not the case for all medications, but it’s great they can offer that service and that I lucked out and could get back to exploring. If you’re a fellow visitor reading this and are looking for a place to go, I would definitely recommend! Very reasonably affordable, stress-free, and friendly.

The best in London. I have been coming here for over 20 years. Professional, easy and provide a comprehensive offering. Travel vaccinations, shingles vaccine & most recently covid vaccine.
Ziad Elmagdoub
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.
Ken McLean
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.
Paul Vella
Excellent service, had a private Covid and Flu vaccination here arrived early and was called in by the nurse almost immediately, very pleasant surroundings and lovely stuff would use again worth £125 to get protected as not eligible for free vaccinations.
Victoria Boydell
Easy to book appointments. Friendly and helpful receptionists. Becky, the nurse who has given me my Rabies jabs is a delight. I’m happy to have all my vaccines at Fleet Street.
Grace G
The travel nurse was lovely and very efficient with giving me vaccines. She even took the time to nurse a wound I had whilst I was there. Really great care.
Wiktoria Wiatrowska
The stitches were removed very quickly and professionally. The nurse was very calm and approachable and made the whole experience really pleasant. It was also my first time having this type of procedure in the UK, so I was a little apprehensive, but there was no need to be!
Iain Guest
I received a first dose of the QDenga vaccine recently from Nurse Becky Arrell at the Fleet Street Clinic. She was quick, efficient, friendly and very knowledgeable. The QDenga is not yet available in the US, where I live, and I'm heading off to South Asia feeling reassured. I highly recommend the Clinic to anyone traveling to far-off lands!
Mrs L Butler
From the moment I arrived I was treated with care, kindness and respect. There was no waiting around, care was highly competent, reassuring and knowledgeable. I got everything I needed in 1 trouble free visit and left grateful for the service. I would definitely use again. The building is traditional, in an historic part of London, so if you are looking for gleaming chrome and plastic minimalist clinic aesthetic this isn’t you but the service and facilities are fully up to date.
