What is an aviation medical examination?
An aviation medical examination involves a holistic assessment of your health and guidance on how to stay healthy. The doctor will take a medical history, carry out a top to toe medical examination and undertake diagnostic tests such as an electrocardiogram (ECG) and hearing test (audiogram). This allows the AME to diagnose medical conditions that you might not be aware of such as a heart murmur or high cholesterol. The AME will assess whether you have any medical conditions that could affect you at work.
If a medical condition is identified, we will provide advice on management of your condition and, if required, refer you to a specialist for further assessment and treatment. We can advise on compatibility of your treatment with medical certification and can guide your GP or specialist on suitable prescriptions. When safe to do so, we will guide you through the process of regaining your medical certification and how to manage your condition moving forwards.
If a you develop a medical condition between your medical appointments, you can contact us for advice.
Our AMEs are qualified in aviation medicine, general practice and occupational medicine. This enables us to take a holistic approach to help you manage your health and how it interacts with work.
