Notifiable conditions are anything that could affect your ability to drive safely

• The form will state any questions that may need clarification/evidence for you to be able to drive safely.
• Once these are completed, we will directly send them straight back to the DVLA
• Occasionally a clinician may call you if they have any queries.
• If you have any questions / queries in relation to this, you must discuss with DVLA.

DVLA will contact the patient and the practice and request that the practice offers a medical examination within a 6 week period.
