Pre-employment screening is undertaken by many companies to ensure that a candidate's health and fitness meet the demands and risks of the job. The process will give you the confidence to make a judgement on whether a prospective employee is fit to work in your organisation.
It is good practice as recruiting the wrong person can be costly both financially and in terms of disruption to your business.
The process identifies current health conditions, then manages them efficiently to reduce employee absence by encouraging healthy lifestyles. The screening is also used to establish a baseline health condition against any future health claims.
Pre-employment questionnaires
Pall Mall Medical will provide the candidate with a pre-employment questionnaire with relevance to the demands of the job. We will ensure the form meets the requirements of section 60 of the Equality Act 2010 and other significant laws.
Once the candidate has completed the questions, they return the questionnaire to Pall Mall Medical. The medical data will then be assessed confidentially by our highly qualified Occupational Health Physician, Dr Ravi Bajaj.
The employer will receive a report from Pall Mall Medical, containing any advice on adjustments or restrictions which may apply to the candidate.
Pre-employment medicals
These include arranging for the job applicant to visit Pall Mall Medical for a formal medical assessment. We provide appointments to ensure the assessment is carried out with the least possible inconvenience.
An extensive array of tests are available – including blood tests, drug and alcohol screening, urinalysis, vision and hearing assessment, physical performance evaluation, vaccinations and immunity tests.
With our diagnostic centre in Newton-le-Willows, we have access to our own MRI, CT, X-ray and ultrasound, meaning there are no waiting times to schedule any required diagnostics. With national rail and motorway access, your employees can get there easily if they require a diagnostic scan.
Once the medical has been completed, you will be presented with a highly professional and trustworthy report.
