Restaurant & Catering Medicals

In the restaurant and catering sector, maintaining high health standards is crucial.

Regular medical assessments and health checks for your staff help in:

  • Promoting Wellness: Keeping your team healthy and reducing absenteeism due to illness.
  • Compliance With Regulations: Adhering to local and national health and safety regulations.
  • Preventing Foodborne Illnesses: Ensuring that employees who handle food are free from conditions that could contaminate food.

Comprehensive Medical Examinations

For the past 15 years, we have been providing medical examinations to companies across the food industry. To ensure the health and safety of food handlers, companies should implement both pre-employment and ongoing screenings.

Additionally, investing in more extensive medical assessments for skilled staff is recommended. These assessments could include a thorough physical examination, a resting electrocardiogram to detect any potential cardiological issues, and comprehensive blood tests.

For senior executives and chefs, we offer in-depth medical evaluations tailored to their specific needs.

If any immediate issues or concerns arise, the healthcare provider will discuss them with you.
