How to book a driver medical

Use the quote form at the top of this page. It asks for your name, email, phone number, the medical you need and your preferred date. PCV Medicals will reply by email with the fixed fee and the available appointments, and you can confirm whichever time suits you.

Prefer email? Write to info@pcvmedicals.co.uk with the same details and we'll reply in the same way.

What to include in your enquiry

A few extra details help PCV Medicals confirm everything in one reply:

• The licence categories you're applying for or renewing
• Your renewal date or training start date, if you have one
• Your council and its medical form, for taxi and private hire medicals
• A short note about any medical condition the doctor should allow time for
• The number of drivers, for operator and fleet bookings

What happens after you get in touch

Once your enquiry arrives, PCV Medicals checks which form you need and confirms the fee. You'll receive appointment options in Newcastle upon Tyne by email. When you've chosen a time, a confirmation follows with the address and a reminder of what to bring.

Enquiries from employers and training providers

If you're arranging medicals for a team, choose "Operator / fleet booking" in the form and tell us how many drivers need medicals and when. The fleet medicals page explains how group bookings work.

Taxi council forms

For taxi and private hire medicals, send your council's form or a link to it with your enquiry. PCV Medicals will confirm the form can be completed before you book.

Booking a renewal medical

If you're renewing lorry or bus entitlement, include your renewal date in the message box. The DVLA must receive your D4 within four months of the doctor signing it, so PCV Medicals will suggest appointments that keep your form within that window. Drivers renewing every year from 65 often book their next medical as soon as the renewal reminder arrives.

Before your appointment

Your booking confirmation includes the appointment address and a reminder of what to bring. You'll need photo ID, the glasses or contact lenses you drive in, a list of your medication and any recent letters from a specialist. If you already have a D4 from the DVLA, bring it with you. For a taxi medical, bring your council's form. The what to bring guide covers everything in more detail.

Questions before you book

Not everyone knows which medical they need, and that's fine. If you're not sure if you need a D4, a council form or both, or you'd like to check whether a medical condition will affect your application, ask in the message box or by email. PCV Medicals will explain the options before you commit to anything. General guidance is also available in our FAQs and driver guides.

Group and employer enquiries by email

Employers who prefer to send a list of drivers can email it to info@pcvmedicals.co.uk with the type of medical each driver needs and any deadlines. PCV Medicals will reply with a group quote and suggested appointment dates.

Your information

Details sent through the quote form are used only to respond to your enquiry and arrange your appointment. Please keep detailed medical information for the appointment itself rather than the form. A short note about a condition is enough for the doctor to plan the appointment, and the full details can be discussed in person. Read the privacy policy to see how PCV Medicals handles personal data.
