Starting a new job but worried about medical requirements? Employment health screening doesn't have to be stressful when you have professional support.
Employment medical certificates provide essential documentation for workplace health requirements. Our registered UK doctors understand exactly what employers need for comprehensive fitness-for-work assessment.
Understanding Employment Medical Requirements
Employers have legal duties to ensure workplace safety for all employees. Medical certification helps identify health conditions requiring workplace accommodation or risk management.
Professional assessment provides accurate evaluation of your fitness for specific job roles. Generic health checks often miss crucial workplace-specific considerations.
Employment medical certification protects both you and your employer by identifying potential health risks and recommending appropriate workplace modifications.
Types of Employment Medical Certificates
