An occupational health assessment is a systematic evaluation conducted by one of our experienced GPs. This assessment aims to evaluate an employee’s health in relation to their work environment, tasks, and job role. The insights gained from these assessments guide employers in making necessary adjustments to ensure a safe and healthy workplace.
Undergoing an occupational health medical ensures that employees are physically and mentally fit for their roles, contributing to a harmonious work environment where productivity, safety, and well-being thrive.
Our occupational health assessments are designed not only to meet legal obligations but also to nurture a culture of care and support within the workplace.
At Private Medical Clinic, we understand the paramount importance of employee well-being. In today’s fast-paced work environment, it’s crucial for employers to prioritise the health and safety of their workforce. One powerful tool that aids in achieving this goal is the Occupational Health Assessment.
We offer comprehensive occupational health assessments. These evaluations are conducted by our team of qualified occupational health professionals, including our GPs, nurses, and advisors. Our main objective is to evaluate the health of employees within the context of their work environment, tasks, and job role.
What is Occupational Health?
Occupational health, as defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Labour Organization (ILO), pertains to the promotion and maintenance of the highest degree of physical, mental, and social well-being of workers across all occupations. This multidisciplinary approach emphasises the relationship between work and health, recognizing that a healthy workforce is essential for both the employee’s benefit and the employer’s success.
By partnering with Private Medical Clinic, you are investing in the health and future of your workforce, paving the way for success that is built on the foundation of employee wellbeing.

Pre-employment assessments are vital in ensuring that prospective employees are fit for the job they have been offered. These assessments typically involve questionnaires and medical examinations, helping to establish baseline health records and assess an individual’s suitability for the role. Our priority at Private Medical Clinic is to ensure that these assessments are conducted with utmost care and fairness, aligning with the Equality Act 2010 to avoid discrimination.
Fitness for work assessments are not limited to the pre-employment phase. These periodic health checks are essential to ensure that employees remain medically fit to perform their tasks safely and effectively throughout their employment. These assessments are particularly crucial for roles that demand a higher degree of physical or mental capability, such as roles involving work at height, in confined spaces, and driving commercial vehicles.
When an employee returns to work after a prolonged sickness absence, our occupational health assessments offer guidance on their readiness and capabilities. These assessments aid in designing effective return-to-work plans, accommodating adjustments, and preventing further health-related issues. This type of assessment serves as a bridge between an employee’s health and their responsibilities in the workplace.
Health surveillance involves continuous monitoring of employees exposed to specific health risks, such as noise, vibration, hazardous substances, and ionising radiation. These ongoing health checks are crucial for detecting early signs of ill health, enabling timely interventions and control measures. Our commitment at Private Medical Clinic is to ensure that employees are safeguarded against potential health risks and that their health and safety are prioritised.
In addition to the aforementioned assessments, there are numerous other assessments designed to address specific health issues and risks. These assessments encompass mental health and stress assessments, ergonomic workstation assessments, musculoskeletal assessments, and more. Each assessment is tailored to the unique needs of the employee and the demands of their job role.
