Taxi driver medical in Isle of Anglesey

Which doctor Isle of Anglesey will accept, how often you have to repeat it and which form they want. Councils disagree with each other on every one of those, so this is Isle of Anglesey’s answer and nobody else’s.

Who can carry it out

Your own GP only

Only the practice you are registered with can complete this one. You cannot shop around for a cheaper medical, and if your practice is slow to offer appointments that is the timetable you are stuck with, so book early.
