Question 1

Do you do ENG1 & ML5 medicals?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our MCA approved doctor, Dr Crouse provides these medicals at the clinic.

Question 2

Do I need an ENG1 or an ML5?

Accepted Answer

The MCA provides specific guidance on this in the link below.
Your employer should also confirm which medical is required.
In some situations you can opt for either medical. Unfortunately we cannot give more specific guidance.

Question 3

Preparing for your ENG1.

Accepted Answer

Your ENG1 medical will typically last an hour.

During your ENG1 medical you’ll be:
 • asked about your medical history by the doctor or a practice nurse
 • weighed and measured
 • asked to provide a urine sample
 • tested on your hearing and sight (for distance, colour and near vision)
 • given a physical examination (you will be asked to undress to your underclothes)

Question 4

Will I need a Chester Step Test?

Accepted Answer

A Chester Step Test is a fitness assessment.

The need for fitness testing will normally be determined during your medical.  Most medicals will not require this additional test.

The most common reason that a Chester Step Test will be required is BMI. If your BMI is between 30-35 you may require additional fitness testing and if your BMI is over 35 you are likely to require further testing.

We offer this additional service which can sometimes be completed on the day of your medical.
Our fee for the Chester Step Test is £70.

Question 5

What if my employer has their own special form to be completed?

Accepted Answer

You can email your template to info@cornwallmedicals.co.uk (info@cornwallmedicals.co.uk)and we advise you whether we can complete it and provide you with a quote for it.
