Had my medical on Wednesday morning 30th September in West Yorkshire, 2 bus job from home, got there in plenty of time. Lovely lady Doctor who told me how long she had been a GP for and how long she'd be working for DVLA and how busy she was with medicals at the moment trying to catch up for the DVLA, interestingly she said that she had, had a lot of cancellations and she didn't believe they were all because of covid symptoms, we both commented about folk maybe having a binge and then cancelling to see her. She checked my ID, told her I last drank on first week of January this year, had a feel for my liver and said well you're telling the truth that you haven't had a drink as no enlarged liver.
Asked when I last saw my GP and told her January 2019 for a blood test (ended up been vitamin D deficient) I actually took my patient medical records as my GP surgery you can make appointments on line and blood test and prescriptions etc so I printed off my medical records for the last 3 years so she said well I doubt DVLA will contact your GP.
She weighed me and measured my height, she checked my heart rate and my chest and said I had a good heart and a nice sounding clear chest, she wanted to test my eyes so she walked me out to the car park and got me to read a car number plate and joked well it won't be your car number plate since you're banned!
She asked what I was doing afterwards and I said I was off to the supermarket next door to get something for tea and we had a chat about the easiest meals to be prepare and finished off by saying I hope it stays dry for you and don't get rained on before you get home.
All in all in and out in well under 10 minutes.
