If the medical has been done at the practice, you can either phone the practice or email info@liverpoolmedicals.com. There may be an administrative fee for re-issue of a duplicate certificate, without examination. If you have lost your certificate and your medical has been done elsewhere, the option is to either contact your previous MCA Approved doctor or have a new medical. If you have lost your ENG1 certificate and you cannot bring it to your new medical you will need to sign a letter explaining the circumstances of its loss, theft or destruction.

Reasons for this will be discussed with you at the time of the medical, with reference to the appropriate guidelines. Sometimes a person may ‘temporarily’ fail a medical, pending further information which may be required from their GP or Consultant. Any charge from a GP or Consultant for providing this information is the responsibility of the person undergoing the medical. There is no refund for failed medicals as the medical has still been undertaken. It is good to ensure you bring a long as much information as possible to a medical that provides evidence of the stability of your health condition/s. This might include consultant letters or commonly you can ask your GP practice to provide a ‘Patient Summary including recent blood tests and relevant hospital clinic letters’. This is often free.

When you arrive you will be asked to complete a ‘temporary registration’ form at the front desk. This is we can have a back up of your details incase we need to contact you again in regards to your medical. You will then be handed a urine pot and asked to provide a sample for you medical. This is to test for the presence of sugar or blood in you urine which might indicate an underlying medical problem. You will need to sign a consent form detailing you are happy for a medical examination and stating that you records will be kept securely. You will be then seen by a doctor who will complete a medical questionnaire with you. It will include questions regarding the name of your role on the ship, the address of you GP, if you have any current medical problems and what medication you are taking. A physical examination will do your height, weight, blood pressure, hearing and vision tests. Sometimes other tests are needed such as a step test. If all being well we will then issue you a medical certificate. If you fail you medical due to an underlying health issue, this will be explained to you along with options of what to do next. Depending on how complex the medical is, the appointment is expected to last 45 minutes.

ENG1 medicals can last up to 2 years, regardless of age. Occasionally a shorter medical may be issued for medical reasons.
