Employment Medicals
Employment Medical assessments are carried out to ensure an employee is fit to work in specific setting, can fulfil the requirements of the role and to ensure they are not at increased risk of injury to themselves and others.
The medical assessment involves completing a medical history questionnaire and a general medical examination. The assessment may involve a chest x-ray, blood test, urine drug screen, audiometry (hearing test), spirometry (lung test), manual handling assessment, fitness test, or ECG.
A medical assessment is NOT to treat health issues, but our practitioner will provide you with a referral to your regular GP should this be necessary. A medical assessment can take up to 2 hours.
We offer a range of Pre-Employment, Specialised and Legislative Medical Assessments.
