Would not recommend whatsoever under any circumstances. I went for a medical and the results were absolutely baffling. They obviously mixed up urine samples because the results were ridiculous and obviously had a negative impact on the reason I needed the medical in the first place. A shambles, I should really sue them!

I had my medical 21 days ago and the information from the Dr who took my bloods has still not been sent to the dvla yet, the dvla emailed the doctor 3 days ago and still has not had this information resulting in me still waiting for my licence to be issued

I personally found the experience a complete joke. I’ve had 4 appointments cancelled the day before my appointment in Carlisle. It’s took me 6 months to actually get the medical which I had to go to Wigan for 2 hours away. It cost me )10” travel as well as your medical expenses. It was great for the 5 minutes I was in Wigan . You’ve cost me a lot of money in earnings for the last 6 months messing me around.

Hi Robbie, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances with our Doctor, we had to cancel the appointments. This was out of our control and it can happen on rare occasions. Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience. Best Wishes, Getting a Medical Team

Having to find availability for 2 back to back appoints because I was having 2 tests made the process inconvenient and annoying. The 2 tests were easily carried out within the 1st 15min slot. This is clearly how you make your money....

the setting was not profeesinal or a medial area and i believe the questions asked were not told to me correctly and seemed to assume what i had drank didnt actually take my correct drinking details which has caused a high CDT and have had to get my GP to sort all this mess out which has lead to me not recieving my licencse and to have my new job lost due to this and has caused lots of problems in my life now due to this being so unproffesional

Waited over an hour in the waiting during my lunch break. Blood test results were perfect. The doctor taking the examination marked my questionnaire wrongly and ticked the wrong box for one of the questions. Now my license is revoked and I am now currently in the process of gathering evidence from my own doctor to certify that this is infact an error and to plead my case to return my license. Goes without saying that this is a massive stress for me and my family as everything is now 'up in the air'. Shocking, disgraceful and unfair.

A dreadful experience. Paperwork was not received after 4 days. After 2more weeks I was asked to phone DVLA to ask them to fax the letter again!. Getting in phone contact with DVLA was next to impossible as they were unable to take my call!. This also happened last year. System not fit for purpose.

An absolute disgrace. A doctor filled in the incorrect DOB on my sample, which resulted in the whole process being delayed by a further 4 months.
