Firstly, we discuss any existing conditions or medication to understand your health background.
Physical Examination
Secondly, we carry out a thorough assessment of your cardiovascular health, and musculoskeletal condition.
Vision / Eyesight Testing
Next, we evaluate eyesight, including peripheral vision and colour blindness, if required for the medical assessment.
ECG
(if required)
Finally, if necessary, an ECG is conducted on-site for your convenience by our trained medical professionals.
Duration, Preparation & What to Expect
Your motorsport medical will take approximately 30 to 45 minutes, depending on your age and the type of licence you’re applying for. We aim to keep the process efficient while meeting all Motorsport UK medical standards.
