Medical Assessments
Driver and PDP medicals
The medical assessment required for a Professional Driving Permit.
A Professional Driving Permit requires a medical assessment confirming you are medically fit to drive professionally. It covers vision, hearing, general health and conditions that could affect driving safely.
This assessment includes physical examination and therefore happens in person. The platform arranges it, and the surrounding administration can be handled remotely.
What this covers
- Medical assessment for a Professional Driving Permit
- General driver fitness assessments
- Vision and hearing screening as part of the assessment
- Completion of the required certificate where you meet the criteria
Good to know
The assessment is an examination with a defined standard. If you do not meet the criteria the certificate cannot be issued, and you will be told what would need to change.
All services are subject to appropriate clinical assessment, professional scope of practice and clinical suitability.

Questions
Common questions
Can a PDP medical be done online?
No. It requires a physical examination, including vision and hearing checks, so it is conducted in person. The arrangements can be made through the platform.
What should I bring?
Your identity document, your driving licence, any glasses or contact lenses you use, and details of medication you take.
What if I do not pass?
The doctor will explain which criterion was not met and what, if anything, could change that.
