Pre-Placement Health Screening Questionnaires.

A professional judgement will be made by our Occupational Health Nurse on the suitability of the applicant to the proposed post by reviewing the questionnaire; making an assessment of the potential employee’s health and functional capacity based on the information provided; ensuring there is a clear understanding of pertinent medical conditions in line with the potential job tasks and/or demands; working environment and fitness to work issues.

If the nurse is unable to determine the suitability of the applicant for the proposed post, or the applicant has declared a condition that requires a medical examination, a face-to-face consultation with an Occupational Health Physician may be required, who will establish any requirements for baseline health surveillance or whether a health check is required due to the nature of the role.

Pre-placement health checks by Wellness International Ltd. will be based on objective, informed assessment of all the available relevant information and are carried out in line with the requirements of the Equality Act.

Wellness International Ltd. uses an Occupational Health system where HR managers enter the new starter details after which the employee will be notified via email of an online questionnaire to complete. Once completed, it is reviewed by the Occupational Health nurse and a report is uploaded onto the system. If there are any concerns, a telephone consultation with the Occupational Health Nurse will take place before the report is completed. Management information is therefore available in real-time to HR. Where an employee does not have an email address, a paper copy can be sent directly to them.
