ENG1 Medical in Aberdeen — Book an MCA-Approved Doctor Near You

- Aberdeen is served by MCA-approved ENG1 doctors including AberGP and Gregor McIntosh Aviation (Peterculter Medical Practice).
- The ENG1 examination fee is capped at £115 nationally, so it costs the same in Aberdeen as anywhere else in the UK.
- An ENG1 must be carried out by a doctor on the MCA approved list, not a standard GP.
- A standard ENG1 is valid for up to 2 years (1 year for applicants aged 16 to 18).
