Taxi Driver Medicals (Hackney Carriage and Private Hire)

We carry out medical examinations for people applying for a first taxi licence and existing taxi drivers renewing their licences.
Although the medical standard to hold a taxi licence is the same as for a DVLA Group 2 bus or lorry licence, the Local Authority will supply you with their medical form which they wish to be completed. This form is often available on their websites.

Some Local Authorities insist on the medical examination being completed by the applicant?s own GP. The table below provides guide-line information. If you are uncertain please check with your local Council Licensing Department to make sure that you can see a doctor other than your own GP for the medical assessment. ?At Examinair you will be required to complete a comprehensive health questionnaire and sign confirming that the answers provided are complete and correct.

North Norfolk District Council Medicals can be obtained either by your GP or from a central agency e.g. Examinair Telephone: 01263 513811

Specific medical conditions

If you have ever had ischaemic heart disease (a heart attack, angina, coronary artery bypass graft, or insertion of a stent) you must have a treadmill test every three years to hold a taxi licence. If you have had a treadmill test in the last three years you should be able to get a copy of the report from your doctor.
If you have diabetes and use insulin you may be able to hold a taxi licence but you will need to be seeing a diabetes specialist every year and keeping a record of at least twice daily blood sugar tests.
