Do I need a specific medical form for a Solihull private hire license?
Yes, you do. Solihull licensing requires a specific medical certificate to be completed, which confirms you meet the DVLA Group 2 medical standards. When you book your Solihull taxi medical with us, we ensure this form is filled out correctly by our GMC-registered doctors. It is important to remember that for this particular area, your completed medical form is typically only valid for a short period—usually one month—before you submit your application, so we recommend booking your appointment close to your submission date.
Can I get my Uber medical done at your clinic for a Solihull badge?
Definitely. If you are planning to drive for Uber using a Solihull-issued badge, you must pass a vocational health assessment. Our private hire medical test is designed to satisfy the local licensing standards required for all app-based and private hire drivers. We provide a professional and efficient service that ensures you are medically fit to operate, helping you get your Uber career started without unnecessary paperwork delays.
Do I have to bring my full medical records to the Solihull assessment?
Solihull licensing standards require the examining doctor to have a good understanding of your health history. To ensure your assessment is thorough and compliant, we ask that you bring a “Medical Summary” or “Patient Summary” which you can request for free from your GP surgery. Having this on hand allows our doctors to verify any long-term health conditions or medications quickly, making your Solihull taxi medical much more straightforward.
How often will I need to renew my driver medical in Solihull?
Under local guidelines, most drivers are required to produce a new medical certificate every three years until they reach the age of 60. Once you pass 60, the requirement usually changes to an annual medical assessment to ensure continued fitness to drive. Our team is well-versed in these age-related requirements and can help you stay on top of your renewals so your license never lapses.
What is involved in the cardiovascular check for a Solihull driver medical?
Since you are being tested to Group 2 standards, cardiovascular health is a key part of the exam. The doctor will check your blood pressure and listen to your heart to ensure there are no irregularities that could affect your safety on the road. If you have a history of heart issues or high blood pressure, don’t worry—as long as the condition is well-controlled and falls within the safety limits, you can still pass your private hire medical test. We just recommend bringing details of any heart-related medications you are currently taking.
