Pre-Employment Medical

A pre-employment medical examination is a health assessment conducted by a healthcare professional, often a GP or occupational health physician, before an individual starts a new job. The purpose of the examination is to assess the individual's physical and mental fitness for the specific job role. The examination may include a review of medical history, physical examination, laboratory tests, and sometimes specialized tests based on the job's requirements, such as hearing or vision tests for certain industries. The goal is to ensure that the employee can safely perform the duties of the job and to identify any potential health issues that might affect their ability to work.

Here's how our GPs contribute to occupational health:

1. **Pre-Employment Medicals:** GPs can conduct pre-employment medical examinations to assess whether a prospective employee is physically and mentally suitable for the demands of a specific job.

2. **Health Assessments:** Regular health assessments can be conducted by GPs to monitor employees' health and identify any potential issues that might be related to their work environment.

3. **Workplace Injuries and Illnesses:** GPs diagnose and treat work-related injuries and illnesses, providing medical care and advice on returning to work safely.

4. **Medical Certification:** GPs provide medical certificates for sick leave or work-related injuries, ensuring that employees receive appropriate time off to recover.

5. **Fitness for Work:** GPs assess whether an employee is physically and mentally fit to perform their job duties, considering factors like the nature of the work and the employee's health condition.

6. **Health Promotion:** GPs offer guidance on maintaining good health in the workplace, addressing issues like ergonomics, stress management, and healthy lifestyle practices.

7. **Disability Assessments:** GPs can assess an employee's ability to perform specific tasks after an injury or illness and provide recommendations for accommodations or modifications.
