Taxi Driver Medicals Kirklees

Our family doctor is qualified to do medical examinations required for taxi drivers. However, these duties are assigned by individual municipalities, not the DVLA. Though some jurisdictions restrict taxi medicals to just the driver’s primary care physician, most allow any GP to do them.

If you want to be sure that any doctor in your area can perform your medical checkup, you should get the necessary paperwork and double-check with the local authority before making a reservation.

Most local government functions in the English borough of Kirklees are provided by Kirklees Council. It is one of the five district councils that make up the West Yorkshire Combined Authority and a metropolitan district council.

SO, WHAT DO WE HAVE TO DO?
What questions and procedures we’re asked to complete throughout our medical examination are ultimately up to each individual jurisdiction. On the other hand, a check of the eyes and the blood pressure are standard in every medical examination. For a driver to meet Group 2 Medical Standards, all medical examinations must be conducted in the same way. If you go to your local government’s website and type in “Taxi Licensing,” you should be able to get the required medical paperwork and learn more about the process.

REQUIRED MEDICAL FILES
It may be necessary to contact your primary care physician’s office in order to get permission for your doctor to access your medical records in order to complete the medical exam, since this is a requirement of certain local authorities.
