Fit to fly certificates

We would like to inform you that the Grove Medical Centre does not provide Fit to Fly Certificates.

As GPs, our doctors are not specifically trained in Aviation Medicine, not insured for this work and nor is this service included in the GP NHS contract. We understand this mostly affects pregnant women. As a result we strongly encourage pregnant patients to obtain such letters from an obtretrician, via their midwife.

Alternatively, patients are able to obtain these at various private sources. We understand that this may cause some inconvenience however our primary responsibility is to ensure the safety and wel-being of all our patients. We believe this decision aligs with that responsibility and BMA guidance.
