Ashfield Taxi & Private Hire Medical FAQs
Can I use this for my Uber medical in Ashfield?
Absolutely. If you are an Uber driver or applying to be one, you will need a Private Hire medical that meets Group 2 standards. Our Ashfield taxi medical service provides exactly what you need for your Uber application. Since Uber requires drivers to be licensed by a local authority, we ensure your medical form is completed to the required standards for your badge.
What’s the difference between a Taxi, Private Hire, and Hackney medical?
In terms of the medical exam itself, there is usually no difference. All three are vocational licenses that require you to meet DVLA Group 2 medical standards. Whether you call it a private hire medical test or a Hackney Carriage medical, the doctor performs the same health checks. The only real difference is which box is ticked on the form and which badge you are applying for locally.
Do I need to see my own GP for an Ashfield driver medical?
No, you don’t have to wait weeks for a GP appointment. Any GMC-registered doctor can perform the assessment as long as they have access to your medical history. We can often see you much faster than a local surgery, and we handle the process professionally to ensure your licensing paperwork is completed for a fraction of the price most local doctors charge.
How long is the medical certificate valid for once it's signed?
Generally, most licensing authorities expect your medical form to be submitted within 3 to 4 months of the doctor signing it. We recommend booking your Ashfield taxi medical when you are ready to submit your full application to ensure the paperwork stays valid. We provide you with the completed form immediately after your assessment so there is no waiting around.
What happens if I have a pre-existing medical condition like diabetes or high blood pressure?
Having a medical condition doesn’t automatically mean you will fail your Ashfield taxi medical. Our doctors are experts in Group 2 medical standards and will discuss your health history with you. For conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes, we just need to ensure they are well-managed and meet the specific safety criteria set for professional drivers. We recommend bringing a list of any current medications to your appointment so our doctor can accurately record how your condition is being monitored.
