Pre-employment Assessment 

A pre-employment medical assessment is an important part of risk management for organisations.

The assessment of applicants by Occupational Physicians is not contrary to the Equality Act 2010 if the assessment is relevant to the position in question, which it always is.

Our approach involves a standard questionnaire with Physician screening and telephone enquiry where necessary. Approximately 3% of questionnaires will require a consultation. 

In the vast majority of cases our response to the employer is within 24 hours of receipt of the form. We can arrange for electronic and online forms to be completed and submitted as well as paper forms with pre-paid envelopes.

Benefits include:

• Evaluation of employment risks
• Demonstration of increased duty of care at placement
• Legal compliance with the Equality Act 2010 and adjustment advice
• Ability to introduce proactive advice on good health maintenance
