ENG1 medicals are provided to the standard laid down by the Maritime & Coastguard Agency (MCA). You will be required to provide a urine sample on arrival, you should bring along your spectacles and, if you wear contact lenses, suitable arrangements should be made for taking them out since your sight will be tested without them in. A list of any medications, including doses is very helpful.
Please bring a form of photo-identification, ideally your Seaman’s Discharge Book or passport. It is a requirement of the MCA that you surrender your old ENG1 Certificate to the approved doctor at each renewal.
General Advice
Seafarers should be aware that medical certification in one “white list” country is accepted in the others.
A typical appointment will last for 30 minutes but, should you require additional services such as travel advice, please tell the reception staff so that more time can be allocated for your medical.
