Pre-Employment Medicals

Corporate pre-employment medicals are essential for preventing costly sick leave, ensuring candidate suitability, detecting substance abuse, and safeguarding employee welfare. In many sectors, including security, transport, and construction, these medical assessments are not only a legal requirement but also a prerequisite for insurance coverage.

With 15 years of experience partnering with numerous companies, our clinics are adept at providing comprehensive medical examinations to protect both businesses and their employees. Our service reflects positively on your company, and we are committed to making your employees feel comfortable and reassured throughout the process.

The Procedure

preparing for appointment

Pre-Appointment

Prepare a list of your medications, medical history, surgeries, and allergies. Know your vaccination history, especially required vaccines. Check with the clinic if fasting is needed for any tests, and if so, for how long. If fasting, avoid food and drink (except water) for the specified time. Stay hydrated the day before and the morning of your exam to help with blood draws and urinalysis. Wear comfortable clothing, as you may need to change or remove certain items. Avoid perfumes and scented products, as well as heavy exercise the day before, as these can affect test results. Continue your regular medications unless instructed otherwise, and inform the medical staff of what you are taking.

during the appointment

Appointment

We will begin by taking your vital signs, including blood pressure, heart rate, and weight. You might need to provide a urine sample. The healthcare provider will review your medical history and ask about your health, lifestyle, and concerns. A physical exam will assess your heart, lungs, abdomen, and reflexes, with possible vision and hearing tests. Depending on job requirements, additional tests such as blood work, drug screening, chest X-ray, or EKG may be conducted. If your job involves respiratory hazards, you may also undergo lung function tests.

post appointment

Post-Appointment

Follow the healthcare provider’s instructions, including scheduling any additional tests or follow-ups. You may need to avoid certain activities or foods based on your tests, like blood work, which can take a few days. We will contact you with the results as soon as they are available so you can share them with your employer. Your exam may also include a fitness-for-duty assessment. Ensure you understand any restrictions from your healthcare provider.

How long will my medical take to complete?
Most employment medicals take up to an hour with the doctor. If you need to have a chest x-ray, this will take an additional 30 minutes.
When can I have my medical?
Our clinics can usually give you an appointment within 24 hours. Appointments are available 7 days a week in Harley Street and 5 days a week in City of London. If you require an x-ray and want a weekend appointment, you will need to pay a weekend supplement as our usual x-ray department is closed.
When will my medical be ready?
The majority of medicals are available within 24 hours. Some medicals require stool or urine cultures, which can take up to 72 hours. If your medical requires malarial or filarial antibodies, this increases the turnaround time to 10 working days. You can receive your medical by email, post or collection.
