Pre-employment assessments are vital in ensuring that prospective employees are fit for the job they have been offered. These assessments typically involve questionnaires and medical examinations, helping to establish baseline health records and assess an individual’s suitability for the role. Our priority at Private Medical Clinic is to ensure that these assessments are conducted with utmost care and fairness, aligning with the Equality Act 2010 to avoid discrimination.
Fitness for work assessments are not limited to the pre-employment phase. These periodic health checks are essential to ensure that employees remain medically fit to perform their tasks safely and effectively throughout their employment. These assessments are particularly crucial for roles that demand a higher degree of physical or mental capability, such as roles involving work at height, in confined spaces, and driving commercial vehicles.
When an employee returns to work after a prolonged sickness absence, our occupational health assessments offer guidance on their readiness and capabilities. These assessments aid in designing effective return-to-work plans, accommodating adjustments, and preventing further health-related issues. This type of assessment serves as a bridge between an employee’s health and their responsibilities in the workplace.
