Film, TV, theatre and commercial production medicals in Slough and Southampton
Certified Cast & Crew Insurance Medicals
Before filming begins, most production insurers ask key cast and crew members to have a medical examination. Cherries Medical Clinic carries out these insurance medicals and completes your insurer’s form, so your production can secure cover without delay.
Your medical is carried out by Dr Mohammed Omer Anwar (MBBS, MRCGP, DOccMed), an occupational health physician who assesses fitness for safety-critical and physically demanding work every week. We understand production schedules, which is why we offer Sunday appointments, quick turnaround and visits to your set or production office.
Who needs a cast and crew insurance medical?
Production insurers usually ask for a medical for anyone whose illness or injury could delay or stop filming.
This commonly includes:
• Lead and principal actors
• Directors, producers and key heads of department
• Stunt performers and anyone doing physically demanding scenes
• Older cast members, or anyone with a pre-existing medical condition
• Cast and crew travelling abroad or working on remote locations
Why do insurers ask for a medical?
A production insurer covers the cost of delays or cancellation if a key person becomes unwell. The medical gives the insurer an independent record of each person’s health and any existing conditions before filming starts, so the production can be insured on the right terms.
What does the medical include?
• A review of your medical history, current medicines and any existing conditions
• Blood pressure, heart rate, height and weight
• Physical examination, including heart, lungs and general health
• Urine dipstick test
• Completion and signing of your insurer’s medical form
Additional tests, if your insurer asks for them
• 12-lead ECG, often requested for older or lead cast members: £60
• Urine drug and alcohol screen, often requested for stunt work or productions using heavy equipment: £55
• Blood tests: quoted on request
Please check your insurer’s form before booking so we can carry out everything it needs in one appointment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) :
Who pays for the medical?
Usually the production company. We can invoice them directly, or you can pay at your appointment.
Will I get my form on the day?
In most cases, yes. If your insurer asks for blood tests or the doctor needs more information, we will complete the form as soon as the results are back
What if the doctor finds a health problem?
Many conditions do not stop you working. The doctor will record it accurately on the form and explain what it means for you. If something needs follow-up, we will advise you to see your GP.
Who sees my medical information?
Only the insurer and, where the form allows, the production company, and only with your consent. Your full medical record is not shared
Can you see a whole cast and crew?
Yes. We can book back-to-back appointments in clinic or visit your set or production office.
