Questions about this service
Does the navigation assessment cover both recreational and professional maritime work?
These are different purposes. Identify the licence or title sought, whether it is an issue or renewal, and the school or receiving authority's form.
An assessment advertised for recreational navigation does not establish that it covers professional maritime requirements or every skipper role. The doctor needs to know the purpose and verify that the assessment matches it.
Sources and official information
Can additional tests be requested after I have paid?
Yes. The doctor may request clinically relevant evidence for a properly informed decision, such as another professional's report, optometry, diagnostic tests or updated blood tests.
The request must be proportionate and relevant to the assessment; it does not mean every patient needs the same tests. An immediate decision may not be possible. Do not assume that third-party tests are included in the consultation price.
Does an appointment guarantee a certificate or prescription?
No. The consultation is a medical assessment. Issue depends on the available information, necessary documents and requirements for the intended purpose.
The doctor may issue a document, request further evidence or decide that issue is not justified. The same applies to prescriptions: payment does not oblige the doctor to prescribe a specific medicine or guarantee fitness.
