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, with no hidden fees attached.

The Procedure

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.

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.

The service was efficient, personable and very complete. The doctor who saw me was very good, patient and sensitive. I’ll be going back.

Sue Heald

As an international visitor, I was very grateful for the prompt attention to my request for an appointment. Dr Ali was respectful and empathetic in regard to my condition and suggested further treatment, which I was able to organise for the next day. Both offices I attended treated me appropriately and I would recommend Harley Street Health Walk-in Clinics to anyone visiting London who requires medical attention.

Highly recommend City Walk-In Clinic Really pleased with my experience at City Walk-In Clinic. I booked a female hormone test because I wanted some answers about a few symptoms I'd been having, and the whole process was straightforward. The staff were welcoming, friendly and didn't make me feel rushed at all. The blood test was quick, and they explained everything clearly before taking the sample. My results came back sooner than I expected, and it was reassuring to have everything presented in a way that was easy to understand. I'd definitely use the clinic again and would recommend it to anyone looking for a private female hormone test. Professional service, lovely staff and an all round positive experience.

I had a private gp appointment yesterday as my feet have been swelling every day over the past few days. So I booked an appointment with Dr Heather. Dr Heather explained the possible causes of the swelling, including the heat that we are currently experiencing in London. Recommended further investigation if the swelling persists, to identify the underlying issue rather than just making assumptions.

I have used City Walk In Clinic as my go to place for routine blood tests. My recent full health check gave my doctor some clues that i may be approaching my menopause era. So my doctor has recommended that i do some tests to find out if indeed i am entering perimenopause, as the symptoms are there. Will be having my tests in the next few weeks. So glad i had a full health check, because all these symptoms were driving me crazy.

I attended The Harley Street Walk/in centre in the City recently. I was able to book my appointment the day before for a blood test at a time that suited me. The booking process was straightforward. The doctor that conducted the venous draw was efficient and very pleasant. I have never had such a painless venous draw and I have had many! My appointment was at 5pm and I had my results before 8 am the following day. I will be very happy to book my tests here in the future. Thank you.

I wanted a cholesterol check up and chose this clinic because it seemed to offer a competitive price for a detailed report. And so it turned out to be. Received a prompt and professional service at a price that was significantly less than other nearby providers in central London. I have now used it twice and would definitely recommend.

The Walk-In Clinic in central London exceeded my expectations in every way. Their attention to detail and commitment to tailored care for their patients truly sets them apart. The availability of evening appointments until 6:30 pm was a game-changer for someone like me juggling multiple commitments.

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.

What if I have a medical condition?

Having a medical condition does not automatically disqualify you. Our clinic will provide an assessment and advice regarding job suitability and any necessary accommodations.
