If you cannot access your GP to obtain a Group 2 Medical due to COVID, you can access a private company to do so.
Whether you are having a private medical, or you are attending your normal GP surgery, you must have a GP/Doctor Declaration completed to confirm whether you have met the Group 2 Medical Standards. The declaration form can be downloaded here:
