General information and signposting
Fertility Treatment and Transport Work
Treatment schedules, symptoms, medicines, procedures and emotional effects vary. Use advice from your clinic and prescribing professional for your own treatment and fitness for safety-critical work.
Follow the clinic's written instructions, the medicine leaflet and advice from the prescribing professional. Do not undertake a safety-critical task if you cannot do it safely.
For a licensing question, use current DVLA guidance or contact DVLA. For a workplace question, use current ACAS guidance, a union or qualified legal advice.
Questions to plan with the right people
Ask how appointments, medicines, storage, possible side effects and procedure aftercare fit around work and travel.
Ask for written instructions when a procedure or medicine affects driving or other safety-critical duties.
You can ask what appointment, occupational-health, flexible-working or adjustment routes are available.
Share only what you choose or what a specific legal or safety duty requires. DriverWell does not determine that duty for an individual case.
