Medical Certification for Fishermen
Who is required to have Medical Certification?
By November, all fishermen are required to have a Medical Certificate for their work. Many GP practices are already aware and will quickly book your appointments. See our 5 minute read, in the Health and Wellbeing section of our website, which helps to work out which medical you are required to take.
