Employment Medicals

In order to keep our vulnerable patients, independent doctors, nurses and staff safe, we kindly ask you to make a telehealth appointment online rather than coming directly into the medical centre if you are:

• Feeling unwell with a fever, cough, runny nose or other symptoms which could be due to COVID-19.

• within 7 days of testing positive to COVID-19 or continue to have symptoms after a positive test

• Self-isolating.

• A close contact of someone with COVID-19.

• In quarantine.

• Experiencing a severe medical emergency.

If you’re experiencing a severe medical emergency or severe COVID-19 symptoms, please call 000 immediately and advise the operator if you’re in self-isolation because of COVID-19.

Please be aware that you will be required to wear a mask when attending our centre to protect those at particular risk of COVID-19.

Services

When you’re recruiting new talent for your business, it’s important to assess the candidate’s medical and physical capability to carry out the functions and tasks of the role.

We work in partnership with independent medical practitioners to carry out pre-employment assessments to suit your company’s requirements. These form an important part of managing both your compliance needs and risk mitigation strategy and can be tailored to meet the specific needs of your company.

What’s involved in a pre-employment medical?

During a medical, experienced medical practitioners assess the following:

Personal health history (from a questionnaire the applicant must fill-in).
Height, weight and basic physical ability.
Visual acuity and colour vision.
Blood pressure and pulse.
Respiratory, circulatory and digestive system.
Musculoskeletal system including the spine.
Urinalysis (for the detection of blood, glucose and protein).
Customisation – where we can test for specific conditions including, lung function, hearing, functional capacity and drug and alcohol testing as required.
Experienced Physiotherapists conduct functional capacity assessments – focusing on the physical suitability of the candidate for the requirements of the role.
