Yes, all cabin crew members require a valid Cabin Crew Medical Certificate to work on commercial aircraft. This is a regulatory requirement under UK CAA rules.

The cabin crew medical includes a general health assessment, vision and hearing tests, and review of your medical history. It's less comprehensive than a pilot medical but ensures you're fit for cabin crew duties.

Cabin Crew Medical Certificates are typically valid for up to 60 months (5 years), depending on age and individual circumstances.
