HGV, Taxi and Racing Medicals

We do offer appointments for these but, unfortunately, they do take up valuable GP appointments and are rather more costly than private companies.

You can self-refer on 0800 779 7023 or visit www.d4medicals.com. Appointments are available at Peterborough or King's Lynn. These medicals require an eye test.

The fees are published on the above website. Of note, there are other private firms other than the one listed above.
