Travel with Confidence

Planning a trip abroad? Many countries, airlines, cruise operators, employers, and travel providers may require a Fit to Fly Medical Certificate confirming that you are medically fit to travel.

At Witcombe Health, we provide professional Fit to Fly assessments with experienced healthcare practitioners, offering a straightforward and efficient service to help you meet your travel requirements.

What Is a Fit to Fly Certificate?

A Fit to Fly Certificate is a medical document completed by a qualified healthcare professional that confirms you have been assessed and are considered medically fit to travel by air.

You may need a certificate if you:

• Have a pre-existing medical condition
• Are recovering from surgery or illness
• Have recently been admitted to hospital
• Are travelling during pregnancy
• Require special assistance when travelling
• Have been asked for medical clearance by an airline, cruise operator, employer, or travel insurer
