What is a PCV Medical

A PCV (or PSV) medical is a compulsory examination of health that a driver is required to take when operating a passenger carrying vehicle like a bus, coach and minibus. This DVLA D4 medical examination evaluates whether a driver meets the physical and mental standards necessary to safely transport passengers in safety-critical environments.

The review examines the important areas such as cardiovascular health, eye standards, blood pressure, neurological health and medical history to determine any risk that can interfere with safe driving performance. The provision of a PCV medical test is a proven medical test of fitness to employers and licensing authorities in aid of conformity with DVLA medical standards and accepted road safety practice.

The PCV driver medicals at D4 Medics are undertaken with the necessary accuracy in clinical decision-making providing unambiguous certification that assists not only in the safety of the driver but also in regulatory compliance.
