Health Clearance Medical

Health clearance medicals for healthcare workers ensure that healthcare workers are fully compliant, fit and above all, safe to work within a healthcare role. Our Health Clearance Medical service offers tailored assessments for individuals based on their level of patient contact. This ensures that all healthcare workers are fit to work safely and effectively in their respective roles.

What is a Health Clearance Medical?

A Health Clearance Medical is a thorough health assessment process designed to ensure that healthcare workers meet the necessary health and safety standards before starting their roles. This service is crucial for minimising the risk of infection transmission, ensuring the health and safety of both healthcare professionals and patients, and maintaining compliance with NHS and other healthcare regulatory bodies.

Our Health Clearance Medical service is broken down into four steps, tailored to job type and amount of social contact. This ensures comprehensive and appropriate assessments for each healthcare worker.
