Taxi driver medical in South Norfolk

Which doctor South Norfolk 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 South Norfolk’s answer and nobody else’s.

Who can carry it out

Any registered doctor with your records

You are not tied to your own surgery, which usually means a shorter wait and a lower fee. The condition is the records: the doctor must have seen your full history, not just examined you on the day.

What South Norfolk requires

“A copy of the medical assessment will be provided to you once you have completed the pre-application form (do not use an existing medical assessment which has previously been provided to you)”
Form: The council's own medical assessment, issued to you AFTER you complete the pre-application form. Do not reuse an old one - the council says so explicitly

Taken from New driver - what you need to arrange, including the medical assessment and approved providers. Rules change and councils rewrite their pages without notice, so confirm before you book and pay. If something here is wrong please say and I will check it against the council and fix it.
