Occupational health
We provide all aspects of occupational medicine and can deliver these services throughout the UK & Ireland. This is especially beneficial to companies operating multiple sites, where various programmes at different locations can all be coordinated by our central office.
Flu Vaccination Programme
Seasonal influenza can have a huge impact on any organisation’s workforce and on the cost effectiveness of the business. A routine flu vaccination programme can drastically improve sickness levels thus avoiding both the operational and financial costs associated with having employees absent from the workplace. For employees who travel on business overseas, we can also provide travel vaccinations.
Pre-employment Medicals
By analysing your business, job demands and work environment, we are able to develop a clear medical criterion necessary for a potential employee to meet. With this information we create a pre-employment questionnaire designed to be completed by future employees in order to establish their suitability to work for your company. This is designed to reduce long-term sickness implications for your business.
Specialist Employment Medicals / General Health Screening
Regular Employment Medicals are vital in order to reduce the risk associated with medical conditions affecting an employee’s ability to perform potentially dangerous tasks safely. For employees operating dangerous machinery or working in a high risk environment, it is important that any potential medical conditions or problems are indentified in order to reduce the risk to the employee, colleagues and general public. We carry out all industry-specific medicals which include:
- HGV, LGV, PSV, taxi & driving related Medicals
- Hand & Arm vibration assessments
- Oil & Gas (UKOOA)
- COSHH Assessments
- Skin Irritants & Respiratory Sensitizers
- Functional Capacity Tests
- Night workers assessments
- Working at height assessments
Even in industries or sectors where there is low risk from accident or injury, employee health checks are beneficial to the Employer in terms of maintaining a healthy workforce, sometimes identifying potential medical problems early and reducing possible future absenteeism. As well as being considered a perk to the Employee.
Health Promotion
This is a pro-active approach to the health of employees and is aimed at raising awareness of illness and its prevention. This approach educates people in early detection of illness and disease. Giving employees accurate and up to date information about relevant or current topics through workplace seminars can lead to health gain. These topics range from healthy living, smoking cessation, self-examination techniques, recognition of symptoms of stress etc.
Other Occupational Health Services we undertake include Alcohol & Drug Testing, Employee Assistance Programme, Private GP scheme and Return to Work Programme. Contact us for more information on these services.
