Taxi driver medical in Thurrock

Which doctor Thurrock 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 Thurrock’s answer and nobody else’s.

Who can carry it out

The council does not say

Nothing published says who may carry it out, and this is not a safe thing to assume. Ring them before you book and pay, because the councils either side of them may well have opposite rules.

What Thurrock requires

“Before a licence is renewed you'll also need to: provide a valid medical report, every third year or in accordance with the age policy”
How often: A valid medical report every third year, or more often 'in accordance with the age policy' - the council refers to an age policy but does not set out its thresholds on these pages
Form: The council's Driver medical examination report
