Certificates for Fitness to Participate or Compete in Activities

Certificates for fitness are sometimes required for extreme sports, such as ultramarathons.

According to the British Medical Association (BMA), “even if a thorough history, examination, and any necessary investigations are carried out, doctors are still not in a position to guarantee that a patient is fit for a particular activity.”

Therefore, we are unable to sign or provide these certificates.

We understand that this decision may cause inconvenience for some of our patients. However, our primary responsibility is to ensure the safety and well-being of all our patients, and we believe this decision aligns with that responsibility and the guidance of the BMA.
