The practice specialises in ENG1 seafarer medical examinations — the certificate required by the MCA for all commercial seafarers working under STCW regulations — making it a convenient and accessible option for yachting professionals based in or passing through the Balearic Islands.
Consultations are conducted at Centro Neurodiagnosis Dr Rossiñol on Avenida Alemania in central Palma. The ENG1 examination costs €180, appointments typically take around 45 minutes, and same-day certification is usually available — a practical consideration for crew with busy schedules or those preparing to join vessels at short notice.
Bookings can be made online through the Huxley Mallorca website, or directly by phone or WhatsApp. Dr Wilkinson also offers home and hotel visits where required — contact the practice for details and availability.

Dr Lucy Wilkinson is an MCA Approved Doctor — examinations cost €180 and same-day certification is usually available.
Current fee: €180. Confirm directly with the practice before attending. Home and hotel visits are also available — contact Dr Wilkinson to arrange.

Operated by Serveis Ferroviaris de Mallorca (SFM) with island-wide rail services to Inca, Sa Pobla, Manacor and a metro to the university.

Port of Palma de Mallorca (Estaçió Marítima). Operated by Baleària, Trasmediterrànea (Trasmed GLE), and Grandi Navi Veloci (GNV). Routes include Barcelona–Palma (approx. 3h 30m–6h, year-round); Valencia–Palma (approx. 6h 45m–7h 30m, year-round); Dénia–Palma (approx. 5–6h, Baleària).
Compare ferries →Mallorca is an island; cars must arrive by ferry (from Barcelona, Valencia, or Dénia) or be hired locally on arrival. The Ma-19 motorway connects the airport to Palma city centre in around 15–20 minutes. Paid parking is available throughout central Palma; the old town has limited street parking so car parks (e.g. near Parc de la Mar) are recommended.
