NPPL Medical

I've got my bi-annual Class 2 medical coming up later this week, and as a reasonably-fit 46 year old I have every expectation of passing the medical and ECG.

However, I got to thinking what I could do if I failed. Obviously it would depend on what part of the medical I failed, but how easy is it to transfer my licence/medical status to that of the NPPL?

My understanding is that the NPPL medical can be done by your GP and that the standards are that for an HGV driver.

I own my own plane, all my flying is VFR and within the UK. If my medical result went belly-up, what's to stop me continuing to fly under NPPL rules? Have I missed something?
