What Requires In-Person Visits

Some conditions do require a physical examination. These include:

  • Blood tests and injections
  • Cervical screening (smear tests)
  • DVLA medical examinations
  • Travel fit-to-fly assessments requiring clinical signs
  • Suspected fractures or serious injuries
