Professional, Hassle-Free Driver Medicals for £100
At AberGP, we understand that for professional drivers in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, your licence is your livelihood. We provide efficient, GMC-registered doctor-led medical assessments for HGV (Class 2), LGV, PCV, and Taxi drivers to help you get on the road safely.
Why is a D4 Medical Necessary?
Operating a heavy vehicle or carrying passengers requires a higher level of physical and mental fitness than standard driving. The D4 medical is a legal requirement designed to ensure:
- Public Safety: Confirming that drivers are free from medical conditions that could cause sudden incapacity.
- Driver Wellbeing: Identifying potential health issues - such as high blood pressure or sleep apnoea - early, so they can be managed before they affect your career.
- Legal Compliance: Meeting the strict standards set by the DVLA and local authorities to maintain your professional entitlement.
At AberGP, our goal is to help you meet these necessary medical standards so you can continue to drive safely and confidently.

What the Medical Involves
Vision Assessment
- Acuity: You must reach at least 6/7.5 in the better eye and 6/60 in the worse eye.
- Visual Field: The doctor will check for a history of any medical condition that may affect the binocular field of vision.
- Corrective Power: If glasses are worn, the prescription power must not exceed +8 dioptres.
Note: If your eye assessment is complex, we may require an optician to complete this specific section.
Neurological and Heart Health
- Neurological: We screen for conditions like Epilepsy, Stroke/TIA, Parkinson’s, or history of brain surgery.
- Cardiac: We check that your resting blood pressure is consistently lower than 180/100 mmHg and review any history of angina or heart rhythm issues.
Diabetes and General Health
- Diabetes: We review management for insulin or medication-treated diabetes, ensuring you meet strict monitoring standards.
- Psychiatric: A review of mental health history, including any psychosis, dementia, or severe depression.
- Substance Misuse: We check for alcohol or drug misuse/dependence within the last 3 to 6 years.
- Sleep Disorders: Screening for excessive daytime sleepiness or Obstructive Sleep Apnoea.
