Supporting drivers and the regeneration workforce across Newham

Newham has one of London's largest communities of licensed private hire and delivery drivers, alongside the ongoing construction and regeneration work around Stratford and the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. Both depend on fast, compliant medicals — and our Elizabeth line location makes Forest Gate a natural choice for East London.

We support the local workforce every day, providing:

• Taxi, PCO, private hire, Uber and delivery driver medicals for London-licensed drivers across Newham and the East End
• HGV, LGV, PCV and D4 driver medicals for transport, bus and delivery operators
• Safety critical, plant operator, working at height and confined space medicals for the construction and regeneration workforce around Stratford and the Olympic Park
• Drug and alcohol testing programmes, including random, pre-employment and post-incident testing

Because we are a short walk from Forest Gate station and well served by buses along Romford Road, drivers and individual workers can attend easily, while our clinicians can attend employer sites directly to reduce downtime for shift-based teams.
