Official medical certificates for driving licences, firearms, boating, sport and other formalities.

Diagnostics and tests

Medical examinations

We carry out the medical examinations needed to obtain or renew official certificates. The appointment covers a general check-up plus whatever each procedure requires: visual acuity, hearing and a psychometric test where applicable. It is a short visit and the certificate is issued the same day.

No referral is needed: just book an appointment and bring your documents. If you take medication or have a chronic condition, tell the doctor before you start, as it may affect the terms of the certificate. This service has its own fee; call us and we will confirm it.
