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.
