Comprehensive Pre-Employment Medicals

At Essential Medicals, we provide thorough pre-employment medical assessments across Enfield Town, London, and nationwide. Also known as pre-placement health checks, these assessments evaluate and monitor individuals to identify any health factors that could affect workplace performance.

Our GMC-registered doctors with occupational medicine expertise ensure every assessment is accurate, confidential, and legally compliant.

In addition to general health screening, we can include job-specific assessments where required, such as:

Spirometry (lung function testing)
✔ Audiometry (hearing tests)
✔ Vision screening
✔ Urinalysis and baseline blood pressure checks
Chester Step Test (aerobic fitness assessment)

These assessments are recommended for certain roles involving physical exertion or exposure to noise, dust, or other occupational hazards. They help employers meet statutory health surveillance and fitness-for-work standards, ensuring every candidate is medically fit for their intended role.

Flexible Packages for Every Requirement

We offer a range of pre-employment medical packages to suit different roles and employer requirements, with results typically delivered within 48–72 hours:

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about our pre-employment medicals.
Why do I need a pre-employment medical evaluation?
Responsible employers understand the value of pre-employment medical evaluations in identifying and reducing workplace risks. In some industries, statutory regulations require employees to meet national health and fitness criteria to ensure safety and compliance.
What should I bring to my appointment?
Please bring a valid photo ID, such as a driving licence or passport, as the examination cannot proceed without it. If you use prescription glasses, contact lenses, or hearing aids, bring these with you.
What if I have a pre-existing medical condition?
Our GMC-registered doctors provide expert assessments and can help develop strategies to manage existing conditions. We specialise in supporting candidates through pre-employment medicals even with health considerations. It’s important to answer all questions about your medical history honestly to safeguard both your wellbeing and that of your colleagues.
How long will the examination take?
Most pre-employment medical evaluations take between one and two hours, depending on the range of tests required.
What happens during the examination?
The assessment will vary based on your role and the organisation’s requirements. You’ll complete a medical questionnaire and undergo a thorough physical examination. Our clinician will check your neck, chest, abdomen, spine, joints, and overall fitness to ensure you meet the necessary standards for your position.
