Confidentiality: patients' fitness to drive and reporting concerns to the DVLA or DVA

This guidance sets out:

  • how to speak to your patient about their fitness to drive.  
  • what to do if you’re not sure about their fitness to drive. 
  • the steps to take if a patient continues to drive after you’ve advised them to stop.

This guidance came into effect 25 April 2017 and was updated on 13 December 2024 when regulation of physician associates and anaesthesia associates by the GMC came into effect.
