Importance of exercise ECG for TFL Certificate

Exercise ECG holds paramount importance when it comes to the TFL certificate. Transport for London (TFL) mandates that taxi drivers undergo an exercise ECG to ensure they can handle the physical stresses of their profession without any cardiovascular issues.

TIC Health’s precise and detailed exercise ECG allows for an in-depth look into the heart’s performance, ensuring that each driver is fit not only for regular driving conditions but also for unexpected stressful situations.
