Taxi driver medical in Wrexham

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

Who can carry it out

Your own GP, or a doctor with your records

Your own practice is the straightforward route, but another doctor can do it if they have had full access to your medical history. Private clinics that request your records can qualify. One that examines you without them cannot.

What Wrexham requires

Wrexham issue their own Group 2 certificate, not the DVLA D4.
Your own GP should be your first approach, because they hold your full history.
If anyone else does it, you must bring a medical summary printout from your own surgery. Wrexham say examinations completed without it will not be acceptable.
The report cannot be issued free on the NHS. You pay the practitioner and the council accepts no liability for that fee.
