Your questions answered

Please come to your medical wearing comfortable clothes you can move easily in as you may be required to do a step test.

You will need to bring:

• Photo ID (passport, driving licence or Seaman’s Discharge Book)
• GP’s name, surgery address and contact details
• Details of any medication you’re taking
• Your glasses or contact lenses if you wear them (though not colour correction lenses). You will need to remove contact lenses during examination
• Your previous medical certificate if you have one

Different medicals will have different requirements. Medicals will commonly involve:

• Urine sample to test kidney function and blood sugar levels
• Height and weight measurement
• Take blood pressure
• Physical examination
• Eyesight and colour blindness tests

If you have any previous medical history then the doctor will discuss this with you too.

Sometimes other tests are needed such as a step test, an ECG or spirometry (breathing test).
