Hi 1 finn,
This post may be of help:
Cheap Medicals - Nationwide (Updated 29/06/17) - USEFUL LINKS (POST AND READ ONLY) - Trucknet UK
I hope you get a good deal on your medical. 
Would you let us know where you eventually decided to go and how much it cost please??
Hi 1 finn, I am not from your side of the country so dont know what the useual price there is, but you could try phoning around a few other surgerys for prices as they can vary quite a lot. If you go somewhere else they may also have a waiting list , this may mess up any other arrangements you may have. Some training places offer medicals as well as driver training- this may not suit everyone for different reasons, hope this helps
I had mine done by this GP:
Dr. Balachander
Borstal Village Surgery
25 Wouldham Road
Borstal
Rochester
Kent ME1 3JY
Tel: 01634 408765
Cost £65, much less that the £140 that my local GP wanted!
HI , This won’t help in the Kent area bit maybe of use to Norfolk drivers .It is possible to get your H G V medical carried out at the weekends in Norwich by the Dr who does the pilots at Norwich airport .Just had mine done last week and he charges £65 for the full medical and filling in the paperwork good deal I thought ,if the moderator will allow it I have the Doctors mobile number which I can post .

Hi eyepop,

It’s no problem to post that phone number mate.
I’ll happily also add it to our permanent list of Doctors who provide this much needed (and very often overpriced 
) service so that our members can benefit from it when they need an LGV medical, so fire away please and we’ll thank you for it!! 
An address would be good too please.
HI ,As Mentioned in earlier post . Doctor Vincent Kielty will provide you with yuor H G V ( L G V ) medical in the Norwich area ,he can be contacted on 07515 409885
POPEYE AKA Concrete Cowboy !
