Expert consensus workshop: driving safety and cardiac ischaemia, 7-8 July 2005
The Expert Consensus Workshop, Driving Safety and Cardiac Ischaemia, was organised to evaluate the currently available assessment tools that determine the most accurate and reliable prognostic indicators of a high cardiovascular event rate while driving, for Group 2 drivers with a history or evidence of established cardiovascular disease. The estimated level of risk of a cardiovascular event is used in making decisions on whether to grant, renew or revoke Group 2 licences on medical grounds. The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) has a commitment to continuous improvement in customer care, to ensure up-to-date and objective medical criteria, and to avoid unjustified discrimination. The scientific workshop was convened by the Department for Transport (DfT) to draw on the best medical expertise available in reviewing current practice.
